[FYI] {maint} tests: fix spurious failure with older install-info


From: Stefano Lattarini
Subject: [FYI] {maint} tests: fix spurious failure with older install-info
Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2011 10:50:35 +0100

* tests/install-info-dir.test (foo.texi): Also add proper
address@hidden', address@hidden' and address@hidden' directive, otherwise
older versions of `install-info' (e.g., 4.8) will fail to create
the `dir' index file in ${infodir}.

Problem revealed by a failure on NetBSD 5.1.
