* bug#31202: 26.1; Emacs Info top-level Directory node omits some Info files

Observed behaviour: The Emacs Info Directory node -- the top-level
node in Emacs Info -- does not list all the Info files "specified
by" the Info-directory-list variable.

Expected behaviour: All the Info files "specified by" the
Info-directory-list variable are included in the top-level
Directory node.

Here /usr/local/share/info/ is included in the
Info-default-directory-list variable and -- after I have started
the Emacs Info viewer (with `M-x info RET', for example) -- it is
also included in the Info-directory-list variable. Yet the .info
files in /usr/local/share/info/ are not shown in the Directory
node at the top level of the Emacs Info viewer.

Specifically:

  $ ls -l /usr/local/share/info
  total 396
  -rw-r--r--. 1 root root  65223 Dec 25  2016 bbdb.info
  -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 335184 Apr 13 14:25 dico.info
  -rw-rw----. 1 root root    832 Apr 13 14:25 dir

  $ src/emacs -Q &

  M-x info RET

This puts me in a buffer showing the Emacs Info Directory, but
unexpectedly, it has no entry for BBDB and no entry for Dico.

However

  C-h v Info-directory-list RET

gives:

  Info-directory-list is a variable defined in ‘info.el’.
  Its value is
  ("/data/projects/vc/emacs/git/emacs/info/" "/usr/local/share/info/" "/usr/share/info/" "/usr/local/share/info/")
  ...

so, IIUC, the .info files in /usr/local/share/info/ (i.e. bbdb and
dico) should be included in the Emacs Info Directory node.

Note that outside of Emacs if I do

  $ info bbdb &

or

  $ info dico &

the stand alone Info viewer has no problem finding and displaying
either these two .info files.

Sorry. I realised after poking around in info.el that my system
was mis-configured. (I'm not sure why, possibly a bug in something
other than Emacs.)

Indeed, and

  $ su -c 'chmod o+r /usr/local/share/info/dir'

fixed the problem.

Emacs naturally cannot use the dir file when building the
top-level Directory node if it cannot read the file.

After the above configuration change everything works perfectly
the way I would expect.

Sorry for the noise.

N.
