This is a long running problem on Debian systems. Please see http://bugs.debian.org/139569 for a longer explaination. Meanwhile you can locate the documentation by looking for the top level program invocation page. Like this: info coreutils 'ls invocation' info coreutils 'cat invocation' info coreutils 'head invocation' info coreutils 'sort invocation' As a workaround to the problem the man pages on Debian Testing/Lenny systems now points to this in the See Also section of the man page.
