Sorry but i dont know how to describe this bug, dont know what causes it or if it has any
consequences it to anything.
While browsing /usr/share/info/dir in order to check some bugs with bash and texinfo in my
testing-the-beta-img installation, i run into the following:

This is libtool.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.11 from /Users/gary/Devo/libtool/doc/libtool.texi.
This is libtool.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.11 from /Users/gary/Devo/libtool/doc/libtool.texi.
This is libtool.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.11 from /Users/gary/Devo/libtool/doc/libtool.texi.

That is not part of the /usr/share/info/dir i have in my every day installation.
But it seems others do have it: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=480449
See this guys /usr/share/info/dir. The forum topic is unrelated to this.

Despite the fact that the above entries, probably shouldnt be there, the libtool info links are present in
the file.
Thats:
* Libtool: (libtool). Generic shared library support script.
* libtoolize: (libtool)Invoking libtoolize. Adding libtool support.
This task depends upon

I think this is an upstream bug in the libtool info file.

$ pacman -Rd libtool && grep libtool /usr/share/info/dir

$ pacman -S libtool && grep libtool /usr/share/info/dir
* Libtool: (libtool). Generic shared library support script.
This is libtool.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.11 from /Users/gary/Devo/libtool/doc/libtool.texi.

Actually... there are three info files for libtool, making the three lines logical. Each file contains:

START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
This is libtool.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.11 from /Users/gary/Devo/libtool/doc/libtool.texi.

* Libtool: (libtool). Generic shared library support script.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

As a test, try running install-info --delete on all three libtool files, removing the "The is libtool.info" lines from all three, then rerunning install-info.

install-info --delete worked only for libtool.info. for libtool.info{1,2} it failed, but the result was not having those entries in the file anyway.
Rerunning install-info adds them back. Its indeed upstream.
