Dear Maintainer,
I was trying the new gnome3 with session-fallback today. I do/did the
following steps and ran into the above error.

a. Make sure that you are in a gnome-sesion-fallback position
b. right click on the menu bar which has Applications and Places and
get the options 'Edit Menus' and 'Help' .
c. Instead of getting help about gnome3 I get the yelp window with the
above error message i.e. :-

the URI ‘ghelp:user-guide?menubar#menubar’ does not point to a valid page.
Search for packages containing this document.

I searched and saw that yelp was installed. Maybe its a bug or
something, please let me know.

Feel free to reassign it if another package is more appropriate for this bug.

Does this happen everytime?
Yes, it happens everytime.

Ubuntu has a patch to just drop the help links while we have no
documentation for that. You may include it to Debian as well.

Hey Shirish,

this is an old bug.

Could you please still reproduce this issue with newer yelp version like
3.4.2-1+b1 or 3.12.0-1 ?

thanks
