gindent @2.2.12_1 does not install (register) its texinfo file in dir file

»» gindent: ** missing **

All all hints of gindent are missing in dir file.

install-info gindent.info dir

would do the job.

It does not work so straight forward… The cause is that the INFO-DIR-SECTION of the INFO file contains this:

   3 INFO-DIR-SECTION Indent Code Formatter
   4 START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
   5 * Indent: (indent).             C code formatter.
   6 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

So it directs the info utility to a file indent.info that does not exist. The file name needs to be patched.
