There is a small bug in the example:

Instead of

%find_lang %{name}
rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/share/info/dir

this should be

%find_lang %{name}
rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_infodir}/dir


Background: The example uses %configure
i.e. it passes --infodir=%{_infodir} to configure,
i.e. it's %{_infodir} where "dir" is being installed,
not "/usr/share/info"
