Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: coreutils

Version: all versions up to 8.04.

Example, "man cat" gets a doc that says at the bottom.

SEE ALSO
       The  full  documentation  for  cat is maintained as a Texinfo manual.  
If the info and cat programs are
       properly installed at your site, the command

              info cat

       should give you access to the complete manual.

but actually "info cat" will just get you the man page again because
there is no info file for cat. There _is_ an info file for coreutils.

Solution, either:

- all of the man pages should refer to "info coreutils"

or

- there should be symlinks from /usr/share/info/coreutils.info.gz to
/usr/share/info/cat.info.gz etc.

** Affects: coreutils (Ubuntu)
