This is a known issue with info, aggravated by the fact that man2info insists on listing the shorter link when generating the man page whether or not the short link will work. The workaround is to use 'info coreutils cp'. FWIW, it is more a problem with the systems dir file than info, info simply checks what dir contains for looking up things. But the OPs system is strange, since the C preprocessor is called `cpp' not `cp'. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
