Add to panel help does not work

[Facundo Batista]

Right click on the panel, select "Add to panel", a window appears with a lot of applets to choose from, with four buttons below:

1. Help
2. Back (greyed out)
3. Add (greyed out, unless I select an applet)
4. Close

If I click on "help", it opens the help viewer, but I get an error message saying that the page can not be loaded («ghelp:user-guide?gospanel-15» is not valid).

Just upgraded to Jaunty:

I can confirm this

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Confirmed, thanks for the report.

[Phil Norbeck (ptn107)]

This does not produce an error for me. Been fixed maybe?

It's fixed now! (I update the system twice a day these days, so I actually don't know when it was fixed)

[Aevin (firechild7976)]

I can confirm this as fixed as well.

Also affects distribution: Linux Mint 10, Main, Code Base: Ubuntu 10.10
gnome-panel: Installed Version 1:2.30.2-1ubuntu3

[Ikey Doherty (ikey)]

asedt: Can you please provide details of error on Linux Mint 10?
Also can you please confirm whether upgrading gnome-panel fixes error.

After more testing I noticed I Can't load any help pages from the GNOME Panel (The GNOME Panel 2.30.2).

If I check in Synaptic the Installed Version and the Latest Version is the same:
gnome-panel 1:2.30.2-1ubuntu3
yelp 2.30.1-0ubuntu1-1mint1

Example of error Message in Help Browser (Help 2.30.1) (yelp):

"Unable to load page
The requested URI "ghelp:user-guide?gospanel-15" is invalid"

Recreate bug:
Right Click on empty space in the Panel (The GNOME Panel 2.30.2).
You get a list with options: "Add to Panel...", "Properties", "Delete this Panel", "New Panel", "Help", "About Panels".
Click "Add to Panel..."
Click Help button

You get same kind of error just selecting "Help" in the list of options after the right click. (as already described in the duplicate of this bug).
