Dear Maintainer,
After installing planner and planner-doc I expect that the 'Help' menu
item 'User Guide'  will pop up the user guide.  Instead I get a 'File not found'
page.

Dear Maintainer, Not only are the files missing, but the doc viewer that runs
internally in Gnome Planner
arent able to read the Docbook format of the planner.xml that was present from
Gnome Planners Homepage (planner-0.14.06.tar.xz
).

The problem is, that no images is loaded into the file, even when I have
download and installed with the correct rights into
/usr/share/gnome/help/planner/C and likewise/eu directories.

I have compared the file planner.xml with synaptic.xml, and I see that  images
are tried to be loaded with a "graph" tag in planner.xml, whereas images are
loaded with an "ImageObject" tag in Synaptic iirc.

My personal fix, has been to cd into the directory with planner.xml and execute
"yelp planner.xml", that works.


*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
I think what has led up to this situation was the ditching of autotools.
I think that there is a newer version of the docbook reader now, and that this
will lead to a rewrite of planner.xml.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
     See above.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   Success.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   That I had to do more to make it work.
