I hope I understand this correctly.

While installing screen-4.5.1-1 (full system update) I get the following error
(3/3) Updating the info directory file...
error: command failed to execute correctly
(full log http://pastebin.com/nrtDNhqL )

So what I understand is that I've got a pacman hook /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/texinfo-install.hook which supposed to run when a file change in /usr/share/info/* but screen doesn't install any file into that folder so it fails because the Exec action got no value in f ( Exec = /bin/sh -c 'while read -r f; do install-info "$f" /usr/share/info/dir 2> /dev/null; done' ).

I only noticed this now, a few other packages I tried to install doesn't seem to trigger this hook.

screen-4.5.1-1
pacman 5.0.1-4
texinfo 6.3-1
This task depends upon
