Description:
The info document usr/share/info/screen.info.gz is no longer included in the package. Running `info screen` now just shows the manpage. Installing this version of screen ends with the following output on pacman because the file screen.info.gz is not in the package:

:: Running post-transaction hooks...
(1/4) Updating manpage index cache in the background...
(2/4) Creating temporary files...
(3/4) Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate...
(4/4) Updating the info directory file...
error: command failed to execute correctly


Additional info:
* package version: screen-4.5.1-1


Steps to reproduce:
Install the screen-4.5.1-1 upgrade.
Type `info screen` and see it is the screen manpage.
The file /usr/share/info/screen.info.gz is no longer installed on the system.

Reverting to screen-4.5.0-2 restores the screen.info.gz file.
This task depends upon

That's because of these errors which preventgenerating the info page:

makeinfo ./screen.texinfo -o screen.info
./screen.texinfo:5799: unknown command `suse'
./screen.texinfo:5800: unknown command `deuxchevaux'
make[2]: *** [Makefile:31: screen.info] Error 1

Upstream apparently forgot that "@" is a special symbol for texinfo...
