Title:
  Yelp: "I/O error : Is a directory"

Status in “yelp” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: yelp

  When I run Yelp and then do a search, I get two messages saying "I/O error: is a directory."  For example:
  > $ gnome-help ghelp:///usr/share/gnome/help/evince/C/evince.xml
  > I/O error : Is a directory
  > I/O error : Is a directory

  (Note that gnome-help is linked to yelp.)

  I did a trace and it looks like at least one of the errors is because
  "/usr/share/doc/doc-base/doc-base.html" is a directory.  (See attached
  excerpt.)  (Could it be that Yelp is not expecting a directory to have
  type ".html"?)

  My version of Ubuntu:
  > $ lsb_release -rd
  > Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
  > Release:	8.10

  This is my version of Yelp:
  > $ apt-cache policy yelp
  > yelp:
  >   Installed: 2.24.0-0ubuntu2
  >   Candidate: 2.24.0-0ubuntu2
  >   Version table:
  >  *** 2.24.0-0ubuntu2 0
  >         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages
  >        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  The apparently troublesome directory above belongs to doc-base.  This is my version:
  > $ apt-cache policy doc-base
  > doc-base:
  >   Installed: 0.8.16
  >   Candidate: 0.8.16
  >   Version table:
  >  *** 0.8.16 0
  >         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages
  >         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
