Package: pinfo
Version: 0.6.8-4
Severity: normal

I first came across this with

pinfo chrony

and selecting the 'GPL' node.  pinfo quits, giving the message

'Error: could not open info file'

As it happens the file is missing (bug #287142) but pinfo exhibits the
same behaviour whenever any info file is not present.  This can be
tested by moving a file out of /usr/share/info.

Rather than terminating would it not be better for the program to remain
running after displaying the error message?  This would make the
behaviour similar to that of info.
