Odd, I just tried and I'm seeing that, while /usr/share/info/dir has
plenty of content, simply typing 'info' shows a blank page.  strace
shows that it's opened and read:

stat("/usr/share/info/dir", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=79050, ...}) = 0
stat("/usr/share/info/dir", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=79050, ...}) = 0
open("/usr/share/info/dir", O_RDONLY)   = 3
read(3, "$Id: dir,v 1.2 1996/09/24 18:43:0"..., 79050) = 79050
close(3)                                = 0

The dir file looks OK to me.  I'd guess a bug report is in order.
