2006-05-11 10:40:44 Martin Pitt description In a fresh Ubuntu installation, the Gimp is installed, but the help files are not installed for it. This causes some confusion when the users select help from the menu expecting there to be help available, only to find that it is missing. To get the help files, the users need to install the gimp-help-?? package, something that is not intuitive at all to the casual user that would be most likely to need the help. Is this something that could be tied to localization, so that the corrent gimp-help-?? package is installed depending on the langauge in the installer?
