Well, I'd think that at the very least, it should say "hey, I'm not
going to install the info file because you didn't install the info
distribution, you big doody-head."  It shouldn't just throw up its
hands and abort the whole install. ;-)

Well, we can certainly make fetch(1) deal with it as a work-around if
nothing else.  I don't think that this is a long-term problem, and
the change has been reverted.
