Well, the autoconf info files have been modified as of Oct 20 2008 autoconf2.5-2.63 (that was the first update since Nov 19 2006). You have to go back all the way to (Oct 16 2006 autoconf2.1-2.13-2) before you find any autoconf package that did not employ a patch like the following: --- origsrc/autoconf-2.63/doc/autoconf.texi 2008-09-09 08:56:54.000000000 -0400 +++ src/autoconf-2.63/doc/autoconf.texi 2008-10-19 16:59:22.095000000 -0400 @@ -1,9 +1,9 @@ \input texinfo @c -*-texinfo-*- @comment ======================================================== @comment %**start of header -...@setfilename autoconf.info +...@setfilename autoconf2.63.info @include version.texi -...@settitle Autoconf +...@settitle Autoconf2.63 @setchapternewpage odd @ifnothtml @setcontentsaftertitlepage @@ -205,27 +205,27 @@ @dircategory Software development @direntry -* Autoconf: (autoconf).

Or maybe you still had an (unpatched) autoconf.info in /usr/share/info from a personal build of autoconf, which _update_info_dir had been picking up, until that autoconf.info file was removed for some reason? I could see perhaps duplicating the @direntry section of the .texi file of the latest release in the autoconf2.5 series, so that both 'info autoconf' and 'info autoconf2.63' work...
