Local fix: a) just remember to type "info coreutils ls" when you really want to type "info ls". Uugh.
OR b) cd /usr/share/info sudo gunzip coreutils.info.gz sudo vim coreutils.info comment out (delete?) the first "END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY" and second"START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY" lines. I used "##" as comment strings. sudo gzip coreutils.info sudo install-info --debug --infodir=/usr/share/info -- coreutils.info -- man pages suggest info pages that don't exist. https://launchpad.net/bugs/38538 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
