Description:

Binutils is not listed in my /usr/share/info/dir. On IRC I learned about:
pacscripts binutils

and the scripts look good, so I assume that install-info was not available
on my system when binutils was installed.

I doubt you want binutils to depend on info, but I also learned about:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Allan/Pacman_Hooks

which may be a solution in the future. I will install-info manually,
so this bug is no longer a problem for me. I'm creating this bug
report as a reminder if you plan to hook it, but feel free to close
the report if not.

Additional info:

Steps to reproduce:

Install binutils before info (I assume this is what happened).

Installing texinfo should create the dir file with all info files already on the system.

Do all other packages have their info files?

Hmm, there are many things listed in the dir file, and I haven't noticed something else missing. I'll try to generate a list of what might be missing:

ls | cut -d . -f 1 | sort | uniq | grep -f - dir | cut -s -d \( -f 2 | cut -s -d \) -f 1 | sort | uniq > /tmp/dir-entries.txt

wc -l /tmp/dir-entries.txt
132 /tmp/dir-entries.txt

ls | cut -d . -f 1 | sort | uniq > /tmp/ls-entries.txt

wc -l /tmp/ls-entries.txt
153 /tmp/ls-entries.txt

diff --suppress-common-lines -y /tmp/ls-entries.txt /tmp/dir-entries.txt

OK! I'm not a unix tools wizard, but that seemed to work.I don't think all of those are
supposed to go at the top level dir. I imagine that could
be established by looking at the individual info files. It does look like most
things are listed in the dir file. Binutils doesn't show up in this list because I ran
install-info manually.

I can't replicate this or find anyone who has the same issue. Nothing more I can do here...
