I've been looking for an info-package, but found none:

e.g.:

ftp://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/x86/release/

...

imlib2	Verzeichnis		11.02.2015 04:35:00
indent	Verzeichnis		05.02.2015 17:35:00
inetutils	Verzeichnis		05.02.2015 17:38:00
initscripts	Verzeichnis		05.02.2015 17:39:00
input-pad	Verzeic

...

Of course also none in the setup-ini-file.

No effect:

673/etc/postinstall$dash -x update-info-dir.sh.done
+ rm -f /usr/info/dir.info /usr/share/info/dir.info /usr/info/dir  
/usr/share/info/dir

674/etc/postinstall$ll /usr/share/info/dir*
ls: cannot access /usr/share/info/dir*: No such file or directory

675/etc/postinstall$ll /usr/info/dir*
ls: cannot access /usr/info/dir*: No such file or directory
