Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu, and free
software, better.
The Debian bug I linked to has more information, and is the core bug for
this issue. Right now, for Ubuntu (and Debian) 'info <coreutils
command>" will work, and can be used as a bypass.
I am not sure how to interpret the rest of your comments, so I will
refrain from doing so.

Title:
coreutils 'info command' broken
Status in The Gnu Core Utilities:
Unknown
Status in “coreutils” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Try the following on Ubuntu (or one of its flavors) and tell me what
you see:
$ info coreutils 'cat invocation'
Should give you the *detailed* cat manual. However, you will in fact
land on "2.14 'coreutils' Multi-call binary" in the documentation. Now
idea yet how to fix this.
Great job. Seems the bug they reported on Debian mailing list on 9/11
(2014)
https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-
d...@lists.debian.org/msg1256146.html
... has now made its way into the Ubuntu version of coreutils as well.
By the way, isn't that a great comment again??
"though downstream 8.23 could be tweaked to avoid this issue."
Cool. They've broken something that worked perfectly _for years_ and
all the user gets is "yeah, 8.23 'could be tweaked'". If only he had
said _how_ to tweak it!! But apparently the commenter was way too lazy
to write one more line.
