It's not in Emacs, it looks like the installation of info manuals is wrong.

What happens if you do "C-h i m Emacs RET" in Emacs? If it gives you
the Emacs manual then your info files are installed correctly and
stand-alone "info" is the problem. If it gives you the Emacs FAQ then
your Emacs related info files aren't installed properly.
I know that in Debian they consider the Emacs documentation to be
"non-free" because of a clause of the GNU Free Documentation License.
That means you have to install the Emacs info file from a "non-free"
repository. I always assumed that applied to the FAQ too though.
