Bug Description

Binary package hint: bash-doc

With bash-doc installed, open yelp, and in the search box, type "info:bash". In the sidebar, choose "Basic Shell Features"/"Shell Syntax"/"Shell Operation".

In the text, you'll see lots of things like this:

(*note Shell Scripts::)
(*note Invoking Bash::)
etc...

Shouldn't these point to the actual notes they refer to?

I do not know whether this problem is limited to bash-doc/yelp.

Couldn't confirm in Dapper (bash-doc_3.1-2ubuntu10 and yelp_2.14.1-0ubuntu3). I'm guessing this is an edgy issue (also, if confirmed, it seems more likely to be a yelp issue than a bash one...).

No, I'm not on Edgy, I'm using Dapper as well.

I have the same bash-doc version as you have, but my yelp version seems to be newer: 2.14.3-0ubuntu1

Was the yelp version you gave a typo?

Also, if you're saying that you cannot confirm this issue, do you mean that you don't see the references I'm talking about ((*note Shell Scripts::) etc...) at all, or do you mean that you can actually see links that point to those notes?

(I thougth I reported this under bash-doc, not bash... Maybe you're right that I should have chosen yelp.)

Thanks for your reaction.

I can see those references which don't link to anywhere using yelp 2.14.3-0ubuntu1 and bash-doc 3.1-2ubuntu10.

I don't know that the fault lies with yelp rather than bash-doc (other links in info pages seem to work)

Changed in yelp:
status: Unconfirmed → Confirmed

Yes. Yelp issue. No *Notes were hyperlinked in yelp < 2.16. Fixed in yelp 2.16 though (Edgy). If its not, its a seperate bug that should be filed upstream. Thanks.

Thank you for the comment Don. Marking as fixed according to that. If anybody still have that issue with edgy feel free to reopen
