Still seen in ubuntu artful even with the kde backports.

There is no visibile error message with konqueror, but the browser seems
to remain stuck in trying to load a page when entering

info:dir

Same goes with falkon (yet I do not know if the kioslaves are expected
to work there).

Please consider removing the info ioslave if unmaintained.

Title:
  konqueror info protocol no longer works

Status in kio-extras package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Running:
  16.04.1 LTS

  kde-runtime:
    Installed: 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1

  To reproduce:

  Enter info:/coreutils/Top into the konqueror URL bar.

  Expected result:

  Konqueror displays relevant info page.

  Actual result:

  The following error message is displayed:

  "
  The requested operation could not be completed

  Cannot Initiate the info Protocol

  Technical Reason: Unable to Launch Process
  ..." (attached in full)

  This appears to be the same bug as reported upstream here:
  https://bugs.kde.org/359015

  Applying the patch in the above report to
  /usr/share/kde4/apps/kio_info/kde-info2html seems to fix the problem:

  Note: I've reported this to kde-runtime, because:
  dpkg -S /usr/share/kde4/apps/kio_info/kde-info2html
  states that kde-runtime is "responsible" for this file. 

  If I've reported it in the wrong place, I apologise.
