Incorrect info file of inetutils-1.5-3

The file inetutils.info does not function properly.
There are 2 problems

1) In Index section it is claimed that there is a list of all commands,
but actually the menu is empty.

2) The info program cannot reach the individual commands, because the
names of the nodes are wrong.

For example

$ info ping

yields:

... skip

-----Info: (dir)Top, 27 lines
--All---------------------------------------------
Unable to find node referenced by `ping' in `(dir)Top'.
...

The problem is that in the dir file the node ping appears as

...
* ping: (inetutils)ping invocation.             Packets to network hosts.
...

while in the menu of  inetutils.info  the name is different. It is

...
* ping::                        Packets to network hosts.
...

I suggest to remove the word "invocation" from the START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
section of the info file.
