# `package-contains-info-dir-file`

This package contains a file named `dir` or `dir.old`, possibly compressed, in `/usr/share/info`. This is the directory (or backup) of info pages and is generated automatically by install-info when a package containing info documentation is installed. Some upstream build systems create it automatically, but it must not be included in a package since it needs to be generated dynamically based on the installed info files on the system.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
