plucker-desktop: help window empty

Unassigned

Bug Description

can't find the help files because plucker-desktop looks for .htb files in /usr/share/doc/packages/plucker-desktop.
A quick fix is:
gunzip /usr/share/doc/plucker-desktop/*.htb.gz
mkdir /usr/share/doc/packages
cd /usr/share/doc/packages
ln -s ../plucker-desktop plucker-desktop

one thing I just noticed is that I don't have any htb.gz files anywhere on my system. Is there something I am missing?

I'm still using Breezy (waiting for new CDs from shipit.ubuntu.com), but
I get:
 dpkg -L plucker-desktop | grep htb
/usr/share/doc/plucker-desktop/plucker-desktop.htb.gz
/usr/share/doc/plucker-desktop/plucker-manual.htb.gz

The actual files in /usr/share/doc/plucker-desktop are .htb, not
.htb.gz, but I don't remember if I gunzipped them. Haven't tried to use
plucker-desktop lately.

Ya, running 'dpkg -L plucker-desktop |grep htb' didn't produce anything. I am wondering if the documentation didn't get in the package.

Working on this now. However none of the packages have the directories listed above. Will take a bit of tweaking.

OK, we are trying to get the new packages put together shortly. We are currently awaiting a new library release from the developers and will then get the updated packages rocking again. I apologize for the delay.

plucker-desktop package is no more available since version 1.8-21 (May 2007) of plucker

Maybe this bug should be closed. A new one would be opened if a new plucker-desktop is available and still has the problem?
