Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-doc-utils

1. cd /tmp
2. gnome-doc-prepare --help
3. gnome-doc-prepare --new-document tmp-manual
4. you see an error although step 2 told you that step 3 was okay

You just need to replace /bin/sh by /bin/bash in gnome-doc-prepare to get this part working on Ubuntu.
