Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

The update-manager documentation (C) omf file looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<omf>
 <resource>
  <creator><email address hidden> (Sean Wheller) </creator>
  <title>Update Manager Manual </title>
  <date>2005-03-04 </date>
  <version identifier="0.0.1" date="2005-03-04" description="First Release"/>
  <subject category="System|Administration"/>
  <description> This document explains how to use the Update Manager. </description>
  <type>manual </type>
  <format mime="text/xml" dtd="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"/>
  <identifier url="file:/usr/share/omf/update-manager/update-manager-C.omf"/>
  <language code="C"/>
  <relation seriesid="e7ae3bcc-8ce0-11d9-8fa9-d1fb3a9076bb"/>
  <rights type="GNU FDL" license.version="1.1" license="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html"
   holder="In Words"/>
 </resource>
</omf>

The line
"""<identifier url="file:/usr/share/omf/update-manager/update-manager-C.omf"/>"""
 points the help browser towards the omf file instead of the actual documentation. This results in the omf file being considered "external" to yelp and it opening in a web browser.

The required fix is to change this line to point to the correct documentation.

update-manager (1:0.120) karmic; urgency=low

      enabled (LP: #357755)
    - when rewriting sources.list, check for cdrom entries
      that do not have associated list files and disable
      them (LP: #366459)
    - when rewriting sources.list, deal better with apt-cacher
      apt-torrent style uris (LP: #365537)
  * DistUpgrade/xorg_fix_proprietary.py:
    - instead of replacing fglrx->ati and nvidia->nv just
      comment out the driver and let xorg figure it out
      with its own magic (LP: #351394)
    - update tests/ for the change
  * UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:
    - use a gtk link button to point the user to further

      not its own flavour anymore
