Any help? In `package-activate-1' (invoked by `package-activate' (invoked by `package--activate-all' using `package--alist' (which uses `package-load-all-descriptors'))) you will find this snippet: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; Add info node. (when (file-exists-p (expand-file-name "dir" pkg-dir)) ;; FIXME: not the friendliest, but simple. (require 'info) (info-initialize) (add-to-list 'Info-directory-list pkg-dir)) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So unless the dir or the .info file is broken (and this is an issue caused by info), it might be that the package is not being detected? -- Philip Kaludercic
