Package: info
Version: 4.8-4
Severity: minor

Info Help has an error in it. (Run info, hit '?'; the title is "Basic
Commands in Info
Windows".)

Under the 'Other Commands' section, it reads:

Other commands:
---------------
9 Pick first ... ninth item in node's menu.

It should read:

Other commands:
---------------
1 ... 9 Pick first ... ninth item in node's menu.

This is defined in info/infodoc.c in a series of static arrays:

* One of two templates depending on whether or not INFOKEY is #defined,
both called static char *info_internal_help_text[]. With INFOKEY
#defined, it contains

 N_("\\%-10[menu-digit] Pick first ... ninth item in node's menu.\n"),

without it, it contains

 N_(" %-10s Pick first ... ninth item in node's menu.\n"),

* Another array with the actual keys in it (static char
*info_help_keys_text[][2]), which contains

 { "1-9", "ESC 1-9" },

So far as I can tell, this should output "1-9" instead of just "9" in
the generated info page, but it does not.

I am running Ubuntu Dapper, but the package is pulled directly from
Debian with no modifications.
