Error installing package, since new 'info-dir' support.

Error installing package, since new 'info-dir' support.

[mhw]

I got this error while trying to install a package.  It's the first time
I've tried to install something from guix with the new 'info-dir'
support.  Any ideas?

I noticed the same problem after Mark reported it, and for me it is fixed.
