[Bug 1559070] Re: SVG icons not shown / "yelp </path/to/file.page>" fails

 

The issue with calling yelp with a file path as argument has been fixed
upstream:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/yelp/commit/?id=e5f3a147aec6aeb4629194e1d3a3eefc1d4716e9

The attached patch cherry picks that fix.

I also committed a change to ubuntu-docs which replaces absolute paths
to ubuntu-mono icons with relative paths to icons within the ubuntu-docs
package. That's apparently not a real fix, but a workaround which may
fix Ubuntu Help for 16.04.

@Doug: The latter includes changes of translatable strings, so we'll
need to upload again very soon to update the translation template. Would
appreciate if you could take a look first, though.

Title:
  SVG icons not shown / "yelp </path/to/file.page>" fails

Status in Yelp:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in yelp package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The latest yelp version in Xenial doesn't show SVG icons in Ubuntu
  Help. Example icon:

  /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-light/status/22/system-devices-panel.svg

  SVG files are displayed in GNOME Help, but there they use relative
  paths to the files (included in package). Don't understand why that
  would make a difference, though.

  Another issue is that calling yelp with the path to a .page file as
  argument fails with: "Unknown Error - URL cannot be shown".

  Downgrading to the Wily version 3.16.1-1ubuntu1 of yelp and libyelp0
  fixes both issues.
