Eduardo,
This happens because some misbehaved packages overwrite the
"dir" file (for cygwin, /usr/info/dir) with their own. This has
come up several times and so there is now a update-info-dir
package that should take care of this. See if
ls /etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh*
reports that the file is there and if it has a ".done" extension.
If not you may need to re-run setup.exe, or the file directly, like this:
sh /etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh
Note that you can always run info or pinfo directly on an info file like:
info -f /usr/info/binutils.info
or
pinfo -f /usr/info/binutils.info
