Upgrading from 3.1 to 4.0 is not supported. We only support updating to
4.0-RELEASE (not 4.0-STABLE) from the most recent previous release, which
is 3.4 (although, having said that 3.1 might work if you tried it, or it
might just screw up the system :-)
The instructions are in the /usr/src/UPDATING file in the 4.0-RELEASE
source tree which include how to solve the install-info problem. Make sure
you follow them *THOROUGHLY* if you want your system to work at the end of
it :-)
