Ok, that's helpful.
------------------
% ls -lt dir emacs*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 83214 Jun 3 13:31 dir
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10853 Jun 9 2014 emacs-gnutls.info.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28148 Jun 9 2014 emacs-mime.info.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 651392 Jun 9 2014 emacs.info.gz
-------------------
However, the "dir" file doesn't have the main Emacs nodes. It looks exactly
like what I see in Emacs.
