[Bug 1418285] Re: The Help manual browser could not find program documentation

 

** Description changed:

  The program "yelp" had to be manually installed after testing the
  gnumeric application. After installation, and pressing the "f1" button
  as instructed by the test manual, a help browser window did open but it
  could not find any documentation. The title of the window read,
  "Document not found", "The URI ‘ghelp:gnumeric’ does not point to a
  valid page". It looks like this help browser window acts like a search
  engine for program howto manuals. Unfortunately, it could not find any.
