27.0.50; Uninstalled emacs shows installed documentation |

On a build directory:
src/emacs -Q
C-h N
M-: (buffer-file-name)
"/usr/local/share/emacs/27.0.50/etc/NEWS"
Maybe this is caused because, time ago, I installed Emacs from the build
directory, but since I pulled new changes and rebuilt Emacs. So now
emacs instances launched from the build directory are showing stalled
documentation.

I don't think this case is so unusual: updating, building and running
the new Emacs (for minutes, hours or weeks) to check that it is ok
before installing. (My use case is a bit different, but equivalent.)
Anyways, this is not very important for me either. Closing.
