about ubuntu menu item results in page not found

[Ian Jackson]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Install ubuntu desktop from gutsy i386 d-i 20070808.1 in Dutch and select "Systeem", "Over Ubuntu".

This results in a dialogue saying
  Page not found

  The requested page was not found in the document ///usr/share/gnome/help/about-ubuntu/C/about-ubuntu.xml"

Reassinging to ubuntu-docs.

How odd. Does the file exist? Do you have ubuntu-docs installed?

I have the same behaviour in a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.10 Tribe 3. I assume I have ubuntu-docs installed because the Ubuntu Docs are there in Yelp.

Yes, the file does exist and seems to contain plausible XML data.
ubuntu-docs is installed. I have just reproduced this problem with an
install in German.

Ok, I will check the file when I get home. Thanks for reporting.

Yeah, I have this in English ;-) The Ubuntu yelp frontpage is gone and I can access any ubuntu docs. I suspect it could be due to the new yelp upstream version we got recently.

[Matthew East (mdke)]

Probably due to the new yelp/rarian action: Don - is this your doing?

This one wasn't my fault :P

In fact, it was due to the changes in gnome-doc-utils. I've reproduced the problem on my machine and got a fix, which I'll commit to SVN.

It'll probably make it's way into the next release (due on Sunday).

In the mean time, you can access the files by appending "?x-yelp-index" to the ghelp URI:
yelp ghelp:about-ubuntu?x-yelp-index
