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.
