The usermanual isn't built by default. So it's probably not shipped with those
packages. Actually, we even strip the usermanual's sources from release
tarballs.

OK ... looks like it works now.

My error (I think) was to use the file name again in the destination

If the destination directory is not the problem, it means the problem is the 
source one...
I am quite sure the path to your darktable documentation contains another 
symlink.
Check each directory (one by one) and create the symlink on the Desktop 
following a path without any other symlink.
I am using OpenSuse and the link to manual is /usr/share/doc/packages/
darktable-doc/darktable-usermanual.pdf
ln -s /usr/share/doc/packages/darktable-doc/darktable-usermanual.pdf /home//Desktop/
works fine!
You could also try to create the symlink using a function/shortcut of your file 
manager.

This sounds strange.
Try to create the softlink in a place different than Desktop
(for example /home/david)
and post the result.

Hi David,
please keep the conversation on the mailing list.
Maybe the source directory is a symlink itself!
Check it and - if I am right - point your softlink to the original directory.
