Nothing wrong with that.

Please tell more about your current Emacs version and about your
upgrade process.  What is the current Emacs version, and what was the
one you had before?  How did you install the new version, and on what
OS?

Also, do you have the INFOPATH environment variable set, and if so,
what is its value?  What is the value of the Info-directory-list
variable inside Emacs (you can show it using the "M-:" command)?

Finally, if you do "C-h i", what do you see in the node "dir" that
this displays?  Please show its entire contents, and please also tell
what is the value of default-directory in the *Info* buffer showing
that node.

I presume that the manuals you cannot find are somewhere on your
system, but Info is misconfigured, and so doesn't see them.  The
questions above are designed to find the reasons for that.
