Description Michael Leuchtenburg 2003-07-02 19:29:13 UTC
If I press H or F1 in lynx 2.8.4.1d or 2.8.4.1c (the two current versions, the
former is ~x86)\, but unmasked in other arches), then I get taken to a porn site
(http://www.scubed.com/error_docs/not_found.html). This is also true of the lynx
on the 1.4rc4 install CD.

The result is that no help is available.

I suggest that it should instead load the local copy, which is already
installed. The proper file has a path like
/usr/share/doc/lynx-2.8.4.1c/lynx_help/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html   (replace
version as appropriate)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Lynx
2. Press H
3. See porn

Version 2.8.4.1d-r1 will change lynx.cfg accordingly.
Won't change current stable version - why re-emerge for something you can change in your config file?

Thanks for reporting.

Comment 4 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-09 03:21:06 UTC
Not everyone will notice... if you think it should be changed, just do it. I don't think so.
Comment 5 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-09 03:59:01 UTC
notice, you are right
affected, i'm right

but i'll leave it ;)
