Cannot read Help File

Hi,

I use DeVeDe on Intrepid. When I try to access the Help pages I get the error in the screenshot attached here. Any ideas? The pages are all there.

Thanks

What are the permissions on that file?

Code:

ls -l /usr/share/doc/devede/html/main.html

Hm, the file is definitely there, and readable to all, so that error message doesn't make sense. I suggest you report this bug on launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devede

I've reported it. I gather you could reproduce the error?

I'm currently using Hardy, but I installed devede just now in an Intrepid live session, and I got almost the same error message when I tried to select Help -> Help.

It complained about /usr/share/doc/devede/html/index.html instead of main.html, but otherwise the same error message.
