(Sending a screenshot of an error message is not the best way to report
an error.  It takes up too much disk space so people receiving the email

I am not familiar with this way of error reporting in Ubuntu.  I don't
know what an MCS endpoint is.

It is possibly an old bug, as in your screenshot, it said the version was
6.7.  There was a bug when Info was run in a Brazilian Portuguese locale,
which may be the case (I can't tell personally from the language in the
screenshot), which was fixed in the 7.0 release.  This was due to an
faulty translation file for that language.

To check if it is locale-related, you could try running "LC_ALL=C info".
You could also try to install a newer version of Info than 6.7.

This was fixed in Debian for at least some of their Texinfo packages
(see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1013283) (relevant
as Ubuntu is based on Debian, I believe).  If it turns out to be this same
problem, you could raise a bug with your distribution (Ubuntu) to ask them
to apply the fix for your version of the package.
