I didn't report in Arch nor upstream. I wanted to confirm the bug first.

I did a fresh install with mkarchroot and I could reproduce the issue.

Here I uploaded my dir file and the strace output from info, where we
can see that /usr/share/info/dir is stated, opened, read and then
closed:

	http://r.untroubled.be/private/dir
	http://r.untroubled.be/private/info.trace

I compared the Ubuntu dir with the Arch dir and those files do not
present any relevant difference.

One silly question (I'm not an ABS expert), in the package sources I saw
defined in the file `texinfo.install':

	infodir=usr/share/info

Does it matter the relative path?, in contrast to something like this:

	infodir=/usr/share/info
