[8.04 alpha1] epiphany-browser unable to display help content

[Christer Edwards]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Below is a screenshot of the result of pressing F1 or selecting "Help > Contents". Epiphany-browser is unable to find the help content.

This looks related to a previously fixed bug, so this may be a regression or packaging error in epiphany-browser found in Ubuntu 8.04 alpha1. Note: this problem did not occur in Ubuntu 7.10. (Previous bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/epiphany-browser/+bug/38953)

Confirmed the correct help path for epiphany is /usr/share/gnome/help/epiphany-browser not /usr/share/gnome/help/epiphany

epiphany-browser (2.20.2-1ubuntu2) hardy; urgency=low

  * debian/control.in:
    - epiphany-browser-dbg recommends firefox-dbg (LP: #174445)
  * debian/patches/07_use_correct_program_name.patch:
    - dropped, not required since there is an epiphany-browser alternative now,
      and fixes the help directory (LP: #175157)
  * debian/rules:
    - use the same gecko directory naming than debian
