Fresh copy of CVS Autoconf:
$ make install

Making uninstall in doc

Apparently it doesn't like Debian, but it doesn't handle the case where it
simply is nowhere to be found.
uninstall-info:
$(PRE_UNINSTALL)
@if $(SHELL) -c 'install-info --version | sed 1q | fgrep -s -v -i debian'
>/dev/null 2>&1; then \
ii=yes; \
else ii=; fi; \
list='$(INFO_DEPS)'; \
for file in $$list; do \
test -z "$ii" \
|| install-info --info-dir=$(DESTDIR)$(infodir) --remove $$file; \
done
...
The install-info-am target does `install-info ... || :', but I don't like
skipping things silently like that. Perhaps `missing' should be put into
action here.
I have the info-4.0-5 RPM from RedHat 6.? rebuild for this RH 5.2 based
system, and install-info ends up in /sbin. I don't think this can be a
rare problem.
