Well, I'd agree with that.  The problem (again IMHO) with "info" is that
it works for emacs users (or at least that's what I guess, I never can
figure it out), while "pinfo" operates more like a console web browser
(such as "lynx").

However, you can't remove "info", because it provides /sbin/install-info
(which is required by every package that provides info files).

I still think "pinfo" should stay.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
