<para>The Info documentation system uses a plain text file to hold its list of

menu entries. The file is located at <filename>/usr/share/info/dir</filename>.
|
|
Unfortunately, due to occasional problems in the Makefiles of various packages,
|
|
it can sometimes get out of sync with the info pages installed on the system.
|
|
If the <filename>/usr/share/info/dir</filename> file ever needs to be
|
|
recreated, the following optional commands will accomplish the task:</para>

|
|
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>pushd /usr/share/info
