Description:

The info files for gnu emacs are not installed. This is a bug, not a feature request, because the manuals are an integral part of emacs. For example, you can type "C-x F" to look up the emacs lisp function under the cursor in the manual. This is analogous to typing help(foo) at the python repl, or using yelp in gnome. It's really disruptive to have to start a web browser and look around when finding help should only take a few keystrokes.

At least, there could be an "emacs-info" package if everyone doesn't want to install it. But emacs is huge anyway, so it doesn't add too much.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

This applies to emacs 22 in extra and emacs-cvs in community. I am particularly concerned about emacs-cvs, since that is what I use.

Steps to reproduce:

start emacs. Type "C-h r", or "C-h C-f", or "C-h F", or "C-h V"... and observe the error message about the lack of installed manual.

Thanks!
