I had to solve this by copying dir.tmpl to dir. You didn't install the info distribution and got a dir file you copied to /usr/local/info/dir? Then yes, it could be a problem. I should add a message telling the user where to get /usr/share/info/dir so they only have to copy it once. * If so, this looks fine, but in my eyes it's ... useless :-) Perhaps, but I'd like to make all ports be able to clean up after themselves.
