Public bug reported:

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
