Bug Description

[Impact]
Clicking Help>Contents doesn't work in glchess, gnect, gnibbles, gnobots2, gnotski, or gtali. The user-friendly names of these games are Chess, Four-in-a-Row, Nibbles, Robots, and Tali. None of these games are installed by default.

[Development Fix]
I've fixed this in git and so it should be fixed with GNOME Games 3.4.2.

[Stable Fix]
Submitted to -precise-proposed as 3.4.1-0ubuntu2.

[Test Case]
Open these games and click Help>Contents. Does the help manual show?

[Regression Potential]
I don't think the help for these games can get any worse than not showing up at all.

I feel a bit bad confirming my own fixes, but I've been using 3.4.1-0ubuntu2 all week and clicking Help>Contents in all of these works now.

I seem to have problems installing this upgrade.
With the "Software Update" GUI I cannot select the packages to be upgraded.
With "apt-get upgrade" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" I see them marked as kept back as cited below, but see no way to install them.

The following packages have been kept back:
  gnome-sudoku gnomine

The situation has been like that for some weeks now.
In desperation I tried synaptic, and the upgrade is possible using synaptic, but the attached warning/info is displayed.

Best Regards
Michael
