'info ftp' show man page instead of info. Incorrect 'dir' file entries for 'inetutils' package.

'info ftp' show man page instead of info. Incorrect 'dir' file entries for 'inetutils' package.

[Oleksandr Gavenko]

I read

   $ man ftp

and it recommend read info:

  $ info ftp

but this command shown previous man page. Emacs show:

   No such node or anchor: ftp FTP client

Problems come from incorrect '/usr/share/info/dir' file menu entry.
If I change:

* ftp: (inetutils)ftp                      FTP client.

to:

* ftp: (inetutils)ftp invocation.          FTP client.

- all OK. Same true for many other utilities from 'inetutils' package,
like:

   inetd rexec rexecd rlogin rlogind rsh rshd syslogd talk talkd telnet 
telnetd tftp tftpd

Please fix script for adding menu entry to 'dir' file
for 'inetutils' package.

Thanks for the report. It will be fixed in the next release of the
inetutils, rsh and rsh-server (the r* tools are now supplied by the
latter two packages, not inetutils).

I can't speak to tftp and tftpd (which are now supplied by the tftp and
tftp-server packages, not inetutils) because those are maintained by
someone else.
