info directory entries missing

[Dave Goldsbrough]

The bug reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/menu/+bug/391466
is back!

Seen during 18.04.1 daily update and replicated by this method:-

sudo update-info-dir
[sudo] password for dave:
install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/gnash_user.info.gz'
install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/gnash_ref.info.gz'

assumed to be in texinfo package

apt-cache policy texinfo revealed the package was not installed

texinfo package installed but no reboot action - problem remains

rebooted now and problem remains
