Ok. I installed Maverick, and now the situation has became even worst. Help program crashes during its startup. The main windows tries to open, but after a while it crashes (without displaying nothing).
My previous complaint was about the procedure https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures which its almost tricky for a normal user. I mean: I spent a lot of time trying to get a good bug report. However it was not possible (see comments above #11, #12 and #13. Now I upgraded to Maverick. I followed again the procedure at wiki pages. The command "bash list-symbols-packages-v2.sh -p $(pidof -s yelp)" is not usable: yelp never runs: it crashes always at startup. See attached file yelp-logmessages.txt for the messages issued by yelp to command line. Therefore I tried "list-dbgsym-packages-v2.sh /usr/bin/yelp". It doesn't work. Its output was unuseful (see attached file "list-dbgsym- packages-v2.sh-output.txt" So far I was not sure to have all the tools "ok" for the debugging. However I tried to go on with wiki instructions. Obviously I was not able to "attach" a gdb session to the running yelp program, because the yelp program never runs: it crashes in a while. Therefore I tried to run yelp from "inside" gdb, even if this approach is not described into the wiki pages (and please, remember English is not my language). Incredible to say, yelp doesn't crashes if run inside gdb. It works, until I try to print. When I try to print, it crashes. Please, now see attached file yelp-gdb-log.txt where You see again the crash info. Many thanks so far. (Please, consider that I'm now "tracking" some bugs I crashed on my computer. I subscribed launchpad for this purpose. This bug seems that it is not seen but anybody else, isn't it?) Ciao ... happy new year ...
