Bug Description

The cain help/documentation which ships with the package and is accesible within the program has some broken internal links.

You can find such link in Help -> Cain -> User's Guide -> Solvers

In this artical you may for example choose "Gibson 2000" which is a internal link to the references.

On cliking it a error window popup that inform about an python error:

"Unable to open requested HTML document: gibson2000"

I attach a sreenshot of this.

Steps to reproduce:
1.Install cain
2.Open cain
3.Click on the help button(blue question mark in the menu line of the program)
4.See the help window come up
5.Navigate in the help window to Cain -> User's Guide -> Solvers
6.Search for the entry/link Gibson 2000
7.Click on it
8.See the error window come up

Additional:

The citation seems to be in the reference. Only the linking makes trouble.

Hi Ivo, Hi Andreas,

I have subscibed you,because I have found you on

http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/cain

as original maintainers of cain.

Here is a python problem with the package(documentation) that may be only a problem to the package itself and not to the program. On usage of some internal links in the documentation an python error popup.
Steps to reproduce you find above.

greetings

Hi melchiaros,

It is an error in the program or rather the help file of the program.
I fixed the problem finally by fixing the broken links in /usr/share/cain/help/UserSolvers.ht* and recreating the file /usr/share/cain/help/cain.htb (it's a zipped archive).
The updated package will be uploaded soon to debian unstable; I'm not sure, how ubuntu will handle this.
Unfortunately, cain.htb is to big for an attachment (~22mb), but if you apply the attached help.patch to /usr/share/cain/help/UserSolver.htm and recreate /usr/share/cain/help/cain.htb, it's done:
Download the patch and open a terminal;

~# cd /usr/share/cain/help
~# sudo patch UserSolvers.htm [PATH TO] UserSolvers.htm.patch
~# sudo zip cain.htb * -x *.thb *.thd

greetings,

Ivo
