Using Mandrake 7.0 with xemacs-21.1.8.

Mandrake's installation of the xemacs info files
(package xemacs-info-21.1.8, I think) does not place a "dir"
file in the /usr/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/info directory, which
means that I have to use the install-info command manually.

This process worked with most of the top-level info files, but
not with others, most notably gnus.info.bz2.  In every case,
install-info complained about the file not containing directory
entries.

I tried updating all my xemacs lisp packages from xemacs.org (via
xemacs lisp-package upgrade feature) and redoing the install-info
procedure, but it didn't appear to help.

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem for these packages?
(Especially gnus, because I'm just learning it and it seems really
cool)

Thanks in advance.
