Seahorse has no useful manpage

Binary package hint: seahorse

I attempted to resolve some bugs and found that seahorse has no manpage, ie: "man seahorse" refers me to "man 7 undocumented"

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

I ran in a terminal "man seahorse" under Ubuntu Lucid and shows me all man page for this application (well is not a bible but it's ok I guess), please could you upgrade your system to Ubuntu Lucid and check if it's ok for you? Thanks in advance.

I have since reinstalled my OS, seahorse manpage is functional.

However, the man page is basically useless. It erroneously suggests you should try "info seahorse" to read some actual documentation, but there is no info file in the seahorse package and apt-file search info/seahorse comes up blank. There does appear to be a set of Yelp files, maybe those are what's intended?

The upstream "Fix Released" really only means they removed the broken "see also", not that there is now a useful man page.
