Its not the fault from my packagemanager (as i wrote, i compile my emacs
from git sources). The problem was, that my INFOPATH variable was not
correct. My emacs is installed under /opt/emacs, so the
/opt/emacs/share/info directory was not listed under the INFOPATH
variable.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[mente@commander: ~]% grep INFOPATH /etc/profile.env
export INFOPATH='/usr/share/info:/usr/share/gcc-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.6.3/info:/usr/share/binutils-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/2.22/info:/opt/emacs/share/info'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
That was the right solution.
Greetings
