                          While redirecting info bash > file.info on Ubuntu, I get a file.info file with just the error:

    info: No menu item 'bash' in node '(dir)Top'

I tried to look at the location of the info page by using info bash -w which shows

    *manpages*

I also could not find bash info page under /usr/share/info 
but I did find it under /usr/share/man/man1.

However, I tried info find > file.info (find command had an info page under /usr/share/info)
which was successful.

Also info bash works fine.

My system - Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS with the kernel 5.11.0-25-generic

Kindly help.
