Is this bug relevant nowadays? Please close it if it doesn't exist

have that problem.)

Hello,

Report: 3218
Status: Open, can be closed.
Analyse: install-info adds section in a wrong way.
Explanation: Because of a missing newline, install-info behaved wrong. It is
 unclear to me if only a \n in install-info was necessary, or also in
 base-files. However, both places are fine today.
Strategy: Close the report.

Thank you,
Marcus
