I read

   $ man ftp

and it recommend read info:

  $ info ftp

but this command shown previous man page. Emacs show:

   No such node or anchor: ftp FTP client

Problems come from incorrect '/usr/share/info/dir' file menu entry.
If I change:

* ftp: (inetutils)ftp                      FTP client.

to:

* ftp: (inetutils)ftp invocation.          FTP client.

- all OK. Same true for many other utilities from 'inetutils' package,
like:

   inetd rexec rexecd rlogin rlogind rsh rshd syslogd talk talkd telnet 
telnetd tftp tftpd

Please fix script for adding menu entry to 'dir' file
for 'inetutils' package.
