man index does not display man pages

[Robert McMeekin]

Binary package hint: yelp

When I open yelp, select "Advanced Topics" and "Terminal Commands References (man pages)," I expect to see a list of man pages. Instead, I just see the page title and no content (I will attach a screen shot). The only way I can find to view man pages is typing 'man:<command>' in the search box.

I first noticed this in Feisty (herd 4) with yelp 2.16.2. This bug is not present in Edgy.

Confirmed on latest Feisty.

As promised upstream, one updated patch to make the info and man pages work again. The patch replaces the current 06 patch, keeping all the shiny goodness of the patch but fixing the displaying of man / info page directories.

Thank you for the fix Don!
