oh, now I understand, yes I can confirm this., thank Victor.
Comment 5 Diego Escalante Urrelo (not reading bugmail) 2010-05-29 00:23:09 UTC
It seems yelp has issues to find the documentation. I doubt it's a bug in epiphany.

It's likely a bug in yelp or in how docs/yelp are packaged in ubuntu.

Btw, LANG=C is better than LANG=en (notice that error at the beginning).

ghelp:epiphany should work in any yelp, considering docs are properly installed (try browsing yelp help files, System -> Help).

I can't reproduce again...
Victor: can you test this?
Comment 7 Victor Vargas 2010-08-26 18:24:15 UTC

Probably an Ubuntu issue, then, I believe. I can't reproduce it in Debian/sid either. Could you please report the bug to launchpad instead?
