I just discovered this bug when I read the man page for mkfifo and then
tried to read the info for mkfifo.
I followed foolishchild's advice:
cd /usr/share/info
sudo gunzip coreutils.info.gz
sudo vim coreutils.info
comment out (delete?) the first "END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY" and
second"START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY" lines.
I used "##" as comment strings.
sudo gzip coreutils.info
sudo install-info --debug --infodir=/usr/share/info -- coreutils.info
And now the problem is solved, at least for my box.
Should we consider putting this workaround in place for now, while we
wait for the better fix?
