html guide referenced in man page is not there

Thank you for reporting this bug. I installed the subcommander package in Xubuntu 9.04, and found that the "subcommander-doc" package is a suggested package to be installed. Since it is suggested, it does not install with the subcommander application. After installing subcommander-doc, the /usr/share/doc/subcommander/html/index.html does exist.

Please install the subcommander-doc package and comment back here if it works.

Thanks again for helping improve Ubuntu.

After installing the subcommander-doc package, it did work.
Still, think it's an inconsistency having the man page in the subcommander package and the rest of the documentation in the subcommander-doc package.

One possible solution to this bug would be to refer to the subcommander-doc package in the man page (while keeping the path of the html file in the man page as well - some users wouldn't know where to find the documentation after installing the doc package).

You're welcome.

subcommander-doc needs to be a recommends instead of suggested.

Request the necessary changes be made to make 'subcommander-doc' a recommends when installing 'subcommander'.

Thanks you.

Should I provide more information on this issue? Or why has it been set to incomplete again?

subcommander-doc is still listed as suggested in both Ubuntu 9.10 and Lucid. I am nominating this as a papercut in hopes it can be changed.

hank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue , in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install , that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of the project.

The application subcommander is not a default Ubuntu installed app.
For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

This bug is still valid in Ubuntu 10.10.
