Fedora splits out texinfo into 3 packages: 1) texinfo: makeinfo, texi2any, pod2texi, /usr/share/texinfo, /usr/share/info/texinfo* 2) info: info, infokey, install-info, /usr/share/info/info* 3) texinfo-tex: texindex, texi2dvi, texi2pdf, pdftexi2dvi, /usr/share/texmf*/tex/texinfo In this setup, only 'info' would be required by _update-info-dir and should not have any Perl dependencies. texinfo would be in 'Devel' and would have Perl dependencies, while texinfo-tex would also have texlive dependencies.
