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.
