Well, let's decide that since it (now) says that the program isn't
installed by default, it implies that installing the program is needed
to view the local help.

This problem seems to have been fixed in the 16.10 help (see link
below). Shouldn't the status of this bug report be "FIX COMMITTED" or
"FIX RELEASED"? Or is the status being kept at "TRIAGED" to remind us
that there may be other similar link errors (not yet fixed)?

Only now I realize what you wrote in that sentence. That detail is about

Right, Doug, the problem isn't the web version, where the links are
always valid. But the approach in the yelp version creates an
expectation gap, since the users don't know why they fail and how to
make them work. An explanatory comment (which could be dropped in the
web version) might help.

There are 10 such links. Internally, and as you already know, they point

Hi Gunnar,
That makes sense. After filing the bug I then discovered that Empathy is
no longer part of the default installation. So this bug highlights the

written from the perspective that Empathy is installed by default.

Thanks for your report, Daniel.
The link works if empathy is installed, otherwise not. Previously the
program was installed in Ubuntu by default, but that's not the case any
longer.
We'd better reconsider that link somehow.
