Comment (by ballapete):

 Although `INFO files` are installed their info(rmation) is unavailable
 when invoking the `info` command on the command line to retrieve it.

 Is this the statement you need?

 Besides, these useless files use up disk space, make the MacPorts db grow
 (if applicable – I do not know whether all installed files are
 registered), and also bloat the archives. Handling the packages is more
 complicated than necessary for the little effect of upgrading a few useful
 files. The bigger the archive files the less network bandwidth is
 available for playing games or producing fake news.

 I think this is now very complete. Or should I explain again and in a
 different way why `info updatedb` does not work?

 I do have problems to understand which sort of information you are
 needing.
