Bug 272886 – net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.1.8 breaks dev-util/devhelp link handling

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexander Semenov 2009-06-06 12:11:30 UTC]

Run devhelp-0.23. Try to search for some function in docs installed e.g. g_main_loop_run - see result. Devhelp doesn't know where file is located. This is caused by '#anchor' part of the URL.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run devhelp
2. Try to search for some function e.g. g_main_loop_run
3. Page now found

Actual Results:  
404

Expected Results:  
See the documentation page.

I also got the issue. It's caused by webkit-gtk-1.1.8 (You can install 1.1.7 back for now)

ok with that clear description I can indeed reproduce this bug.

I just tested the patch that it works against 1.1.7 as well.
