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.
