If you would have executed makeinfo directly, it would have suggested you the right package name:
$ makeinfo
The program 'makeinfo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install texinfo
After installing the apt-file package, you could also locate it with apt-file:
$ apt-file search makeinfo
...
texinfo: /usr/bin/makeinfo
...
Searching for "makeinfo" on packages.ubuntu.com would give the same information as apt-file.

You need to type "texinfo" not "textinfo".
There is two way to install texinfo, Download (http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/) and build using configure option, but you might get Exception like, Makefile:18283: *** missing separator stop
and the easiest way is by running the below command in your terminal
sudo apt-get install texinfo
Open a terminal and enter
sudo apt-get install makeinfo texinfo texi2html
Note that makeinfo has been removed.
