While upgrading the Alpine Linux check package to 0.13.0 I noticed that documentation files were no longer installed, even though they were installed successfully previously. After investigating this for a while I noticed that this seems to be due to an incorrect fix for #206. In #206 the issue reporter complains that the build fails if texinfo is not installed, the fix in #212 checks for tex instead of makeinfo though. makeinfo is the command used by the implicit gnu make rule to generate info pages.
