[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

I recently encountered an error, No package in XXX, when using the
package-install-file function in the latest Emacs snapshot. This function
was working correctly as of May 5, 2025, but started failing sometime after
May 8, 2025. I suspect there may have been a breaking change introduced.

This issue only affects the snapshot build—my CI tests cover Emacs versions
26.3, 27.2, 28.2, 29.4, 30.1, and the snapshot, and all versions except the
snapshot pass. You can view the test results here:
https://github.com/emacs-eask/cli/actions/runs/14904371642.

Thanks,
Jen-Chieh Shen

Philip, could you please take a look at this issue?

Can you elaborate what the tests are doing?  package-install-file works
fine for me on my end.
