To clarify (or confuse things a little): The problem arises because the help file is located at: /usr/share/gnome/help/epiphany-browser/C/epiphany.xml
With the uri: "ghelp:epiphany", yelp looks under /usr/share/gnome/help/epiphany for the help files (which doesn't exist). Looking up "ghelp:epiphany-browser" will also fail as no file exists with the name epiphany-browser.xml. The bug can be triggered in Yelp by pressing ctrl-L and entering "ghelp:epiphany". It does not affect the table of contents. If the help file was: /usr/share/gnome/help/epiphany/C/epiphany.xml things would be ok. If the help file was: /usr/share/gnome/help/epiphany-browser/C/epiphany-browser.xml things would be ok albeit, some links in other help files might need modified. One example is in the gnome-accessibility guide in the section: "Customizing the Appearance" -> "Customizing Specific Components of the Desktop" but there could be others. This way, the ghelp link would be modified to ghelp:epiphany-browser -- help broken in ubuntu https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/37933 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
