Public bug reported:

In /usr/share/gnome/help/user-guide/en_GB/ there are symlinks to two
files which don't exist (goscustdesk.xml to /usr/share/gnome/help-
langpack/user-guide/en_GB/goscustdesk.xml and gosfeedback.xml to
/usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/user-guide/en_GB/gosfeedback.xml) and as
a result Gnome help don't work - for example, clicking Help>Contents in
a Nautilus window shows a message "Could not parse file. The file
‘///usr/share/gnome/help/user-guide/en_GB/user-guide.xml’ could not be
parsed because one or more of its included files is not a well-formed
XML document."

$ ls /usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/user-guide/en_GB/
gostools.xml  user-guide.xm

A simple fix is to replace the broken links with ones to the equivalent
en_AU files, as is done for the other files that don't have an en_GB
version.
