It is a different issue. (But I happened to stumble across both bugs at the same time.) The issue on bug-texinfo is a problem with an INFOPATH that contains at least two directories. This issue here is about stale entries that refer to nonexistent nodes, when installing a new Automake release using the same --prefix as an older one. How to reproduce: 1. $ mkdir /tmp/inst 2. Install automake-1.11.2: $ tar xvfz .../automake-1.11.2.tar.gz $ (cd automake-1.11.2 && ./configure --prefix=/tmp/inst && make && make install) 3. $ INFOPATH=/tmp/inst/share/info info automake works 4. Install automake-1.12 with the same --prefix: $ tar xvfz .../automake-1.12.tar.gz $ (cd automake-1.12 && ./configure --prefix=/tmp/inst && make && make install) 5. $ INFOPATH=/tmp/inst/share/info info automake fails, it produces the manpage fallback.
