Bug Description
Ubuntu 11.04
yelp-3.0.0-0ubuntu2
Ok, this is only an issue if gnome-user-guide is not installed. It would be nice to have a more helpful pointer that I need to install that package.
It may be that there is already such a pointer, but I'm not getting it because for some reason yelp invokes KPackagekit (despite being run under GNOME)... it's possible I'm also missing the gnome packagekit frontend, but I haven't been able to find one.
1. Run "orca", click the "help" button.
2. See "Before you begin", with a big friendly yellow star, directing you towards the link for "Universal Access Help".
3. Click link for "Universal Access Help".
"Document Not Found
The URI ‘ghelp:
It helpfully provides "Search for packages containing this document.", but
"The files could not be found in any package".
NOTE: the dialog that comes up says "KPackageKit". This is probably because the system was originally installed as Kubuntu. I installed the Ubuntu Gnome desktop (i.e. ubuntu-desktop package) because I'm testing for screen-readers, and I couldn't get a screen reader working in KDE.

Meant to say - googling didn't turn up much of interest, other than this is a new URL, and it was changed very recently -
