This is a bug in the DIR file(s) distributed by Debian: it is not allowed to have two or more menu items whose labels (the part between the * and the first colon) are identical. The Info format disallows that, and Info readers generally cannot cope with that. > And further again, though there are two gnuses, when we hit m gnus tab, we get > Menu item: Gnus [Sole completion] That's one of the symptoms of the fact that two such entries cannot live together.
