2018-08-27 20:36:04 Douglas Moyes description The info command in Ubuntu 18.04 lacks it's own info page. This means that hitting "H" from within info to get a list of key bindings fails, as well as invoking info with "info info." In GNUs infinite wisdom, many terminal utilities lack a proper man page which directs a user to run the info command. The info command in Ubuntu 18.04 lacks it's own info page. This means that hitting "H" from within info to get a list of key bindings fails, as well as invoking info with "info info." In GNUs infinite wisdom, many terminal utilities lack a proper man page. These man pages include a short description of the program, then direct the user to run info for the complete documentation. "man info" is a great example of that where it includes a few command line options, and no information on what keys are used to navigate through the system (except to press H, which fails because the info documentation is missing).
