Description Sebastien Bacher 2004-11-11 13:11:20 UTC
$ yelp 
Desktop -> Gnome Display Manager Reference Manual -> Section 1 Terms and
Conventions Used in This Manual

=> it displays a message window "The selected document could not be opened"

with this error in the console:
(yelp:16261): Yelp-CRITICAL **: get_doc_type: assertion `mime_type != NULL' failed


That happens for a lot of documents
Comment 1 Shaun McCance 2004-12-05 20:37:43 UTC
This was probably caused by Yelp not overriding db.xref.target from
gnome-doc-utils.  It should be fixed in CVS.
