Wow, you are very diligent.

Yes it seems to have been fixed sometime in the past 11 years!

Thanks.

Hi Frederik,

Package: info
Version: 4.11.dfsg.1-4
Severity: minor

If I am looking for information on 'foo', the program 'man' tells me
right away that it isn't in the manpage database:

$ man foo
No manual entry for foo

However, 'info' forces the user to read through the following output:

With

I see:

hille@sid:~ $ info foo
info: No menu item 'foo' in node '(dir)Top'

I guess we can close the bug. Please confirm.

Hilmar
