Hi, The problem was solved when I manually edited the /etc/info-dir file. I inserted the following line in it: * time: (time). GNU time Utility The "time" rpm package contained the following script which I found by doing a "rpm -q --scripts time": postinstall script (through /bin/sh): /sbin/install-info //usr/info/time.info.gz //usr/info/dir --entry="* time: (time). GNU time Utility" For some reason the script had not been able to update the info-dir file. So I tried giving the following command: install-info /usr/info/time.info.gz /etc/info-dir --entry="* time: (time). GNU time Utility" But the command exits without any messages and no changes are made to the /etc/info-dir . BTW, /usr/info/dir -> /etc/info-dir Sameer.
