The dir file in /usr/share/info (a symlink to /etc/info-dir) came with Red Hat 7.2. The dir file in /usr/info was installed by texinfo-4.2. This could be a problem we have to fix, an inconsistency between Emacs and Texinfo. Maybe Emacs should install into /usr/info if it has a dir file in it. Should Texinfo (and Emacs) install into /usr/share/info rather than /usr/info? It is a while ago that I installed texinfo-4.2, but if I remember well I might have overridden the place Texinfo got installed, which probably explain the inconsistency. Hence, the inconsistency is probably not a problem with texinfo. Sincerely, Luc.
