Hi,
cleanup-info uses the obsolete directory /usr/info as its $infodir,
rendering it non-functional on systems where that does not exist (as
on my system). Please apply the following patch to
scripts/cleanup-info.pl to fix this:

The purpose of this program was to fix dir files produced by ancient
and bogus install-info versions, which at the time was handling that
file under /usr/info. Also given that the switch to the GNU install-info
should be imminent, and that we'll most probably get rid of this program
on that transition, I don't see the point in making it handle the old
and new dirs. I'd say we just let it die. Thus closing this bug report.
Thanks for the patch anyway!
regards,
guillem
