$ aptitude show aptitude-doc-en | grep -a2 Description
Suggests: aptitude
Provides: aptitude-doc
Description: English manual for aptitude, a terminal-based apt frontend
aptitude is a terminal-based apt frontend. This package contains the English
version of the aptitude user's manual in HTML format.
$ dpkg -S aptitude-doc-en
aptitude-doc-en: /usr/share/
aptitude-doc-en: /usr/share/
aptitude-doc-en: /usr/share/
aptitude-doc-en: /usr/share/
Only by mere coincidence I found out, that the actual html files were droped into /usr/share/
Cheers.
Marking as Wishlist bug, and I can confirm this hasn't changed in Jaunty, aptitude-doc-en version 0.4.11.11-1ubuntu1 - should it actually be in /usr/share/ doc/aptitude- doc-en/ and there is no easy way to access the html version, as stated.
