Subject: 29.0.60; Can not find info when I install package with
 package-vc-install
Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2022 08:32:37 +0800

When I install emacs-eat with package-vc-info, I find that I can not
read info of emacs-eat with info command.

I check eat install dir, and find the file eat.info and eat.texi.
