Lintian tag: info-document-missing-dir-section

Type: error

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

This info document has no INFO-DIR-SECTION line. install-info will be
unable to determine the section into which this info page should be put.
The best solution is to add a line like:

@dircategory Software development

to the texinfo source so that the generated info file will contain a
section. See /usr/share/info/dir for sections to choose from. You will
have to ensure that the build process builds new info files rather than
using ones built by upstream.

Visibility: error
Show-Always: no
