Gimp English help broken

[Peter Hendrickson]

Binary package hint: gimp

When running the Gimp if I do Help->User Manual->Basic Concepts, I get an error saying "The Gimp help browser is not available." (See attachment for full text.) I have "gimp-help-common" and "gimp-help-en" installed.

My version of Ubuntu:
> $ lsb_release -rd
> Description: Ubuntu 8.10
> Release: 8.10

My version of various Gimp packages:
> $ apt-cache policy gimp
> gimp:

This wishlist item is possibly related, but it seems to be addressing a different issue:

Same here (Intrepid), and seems still happens on Jaunty (upto date as of today).
