Description:   Opened: 2004-10-16 07:30 0000 
When trying to access the help files from within meld, I get the following
error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/lib/meld/meldapp.py", line 657, in
on_menu_users_manual_activate
        gnome.url_show("file:///usr/share/doc/meld-0.9.0/html/index.html")
    gobject.GError: The specified location is invalid.

This is because the help files are installed in meld-0.9.0-r1 .  I can't see
from the ebuild why this is the case.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  emerge meld
2.  click on the help menu -> contents
3.

Actual Results:  
Error message from above showed up on tty that started meld.

Expected Results:  
Loaded the help file from the correct directory.

------- Comment #1 From Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2004-10-17 10:34:24 0000 ------- 
i think the url is embedded inside the source rather than ebuild. can you try
the newer versions of meld?

------- Comment #2 From Jonathan Geisler 2004-11-04 11:33:32 0000 ------- 
Version 0.9.4.1 does work because there is no -rX version.  Is there a way
Gentoo can add a patch to the source that modifies the URL to match where the
documentation is stored so if someone creates a new ebuild they don't need to
worry about this issue in the future?

------- Comment #3 From John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-05-29 14:52:38 0000 ------- 
I changed the behavior in the ~ -r1 build of meld.

This small fix should work for all future r* versions of meld.

Thanks for reporting!
