The INFOPATH searh path only looks under the share/info installation prefix; that's why it doesn't see it. Perhaps there's a way to configure texlive-texmf to install its info manuals to share/info instead of share/texmf-dist/doc/info; alternatively we could, at the level of the texlive-texmf package definition symlink any share/texmf-dist/doc/info/*.info to share/info/. Would you like to give it a try? I'm turning this into a proper bug report, by emailing "[email protected]". Thanks for the report! Maxim
