Looks like your info system is misconfigured. The coreutils info file
has a direntry section that lists all invdividual utilities as menu
entries that redirect to the respective invocation nodes in the
coreutils info file. This direntry section is supposed to be copied (by
install-info) to the info dir file on installation.
