+    Unfortunately, due to occasional problems in the Makefiles of various packages,
+    it can sometimes get out of sync with the info pages installed on the system.
+    If the <filename>/usr/share/info/dir</filename> file ever needs to be
+    recreated, the following optional commands will accomplish the task:</para>
