Unfortunately I don't have mga1 installed right now, but I'll look at this with VirtualBox..

Pushed new release [1] to core/updates_testing which should fix this problem. Please test it.

[1] yelp-2.30.2-4.1.mga1

Testing complete i586.

It would actually cause the applications to crash before the fix.

Comment 7 claire robinson 2011-10-15 18:11:38 CEST

Tested OK x86_64

Thankyou Jani


Advisory
------------------
This update corrects an issue with application help for the Gnome desktop. 

Previously gnome applications would display and error - "Could not display help: The specified location is not supported" or crash altogether when clicking on Help/Contents.
------------------

SRPM: yelp-2.30.2-4.1.mga1.src.rpm

Could sysadmin please push from core/updates_testing to core/updates

Thankyou!

Spelling mistake in advisory 'display and error' should be 'display an error'

Comment 9 Thomas Backlund 2011-10-19 22:16:09 CEST
