info bash
works on my system (upgraded from 13.2)

how did you install yours?
what command are you testing with?
and what does it actually output?
Comment 2 Forgotten User yM3F60q4RJ 2015-12-06 19:09:45 UTC

> Info <random command> does not work correctly.

And what exactly does not work correctly? Could you provide example of this incorrect output?

info should start the online help in highest level.

info <fstab> did not show the mount options of fstab.

No, no online help, both info and man show you content of manpages or info files that are installed on your system. In case info file is not present info will show manpage instead (if such exists).

"info fstab" shows manpage for fstab - is the output somehow different from i.e. http://linux.die.net/man/5/fstab ?

Armin I know what gnu info is, so far my understanding is that you did not find information foro which you were looking in info fstab. Try man mount instead perhaps you will find information you are looking for there.
