Bug Description
Binary package hint: yelp
When I run Yelp and then do a search, I get two messages saying "I/O error: is a directory." For example:
> $ gnome-help ghelp:/
> I/O error : Is a directory
> I/O error : Is a directory
(Note that gnome-help is linked to yelp.)
I did a trace and it looks like at least one of the errors is because "/usr/share/
My version of Ubuntu:
> $ lsb_release -rd
> Description: Ubuntu 8.10
> Release: 8.10
This is my version of Yelp:
> $ apt-cache policy yelp
> yelp:
> Installed: 2.24.0-0ubuntu2
> Candidate: 2.24.0-0ubuntu2
> Version table:
> *** 2.24.0-0ubuntu2 0
> 500 http://
> 100 /var/lib/
The apparently troublesome directory above belongs to doc-base. This is my version:
> $ apt-cache policy doc-base
> doc-base:
> Installed: 0.8.16
> Candidate: 0.8.16
> Version table:
> *** 0.8.16 0
> 500 http://
> 100 /var/lib/

Thank you for reporting this bug.
Does this still happen in Lucid?
