Description Tim Lee 2006-03-13 22:43:15 UTC

In the help browser under the Office, Flowchart section I clicked on
the Dia link and I got the following error:

Could not load document

The file ‘/opt/gnome/share/gnome/help/dia/en/dia.xml’ could not be parsed. Either the file does not exist, or it is not well-formed XML

The file does exist and is an XML file.

This seems to be that dia does not install all the help files it should it should.

Comment 2 Hans Petter Jansson 2006-03-18 07:49:49 UTC

Yeah, I get:

I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/opt/gnome/share/gnome/help/dia/en/intro.xml"
/opt/gnome/share/gnome/help/dia/en/dia.xml:117: parser error : Failure to process entity INTRODUCTION
&INTRODUCTION;
              ^
/opt/gnome/share/gnome/help/dia/en/dia.xml:117: parser error : Entity 'INTRODUCTION' not defined
&INTRODUCTION;
              ^
I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/opt/gnome/share/gnome/help/dia/en/usage-quickstart.xml"
/opt/gnome/share/gnome/help/dia/en/dia.xml:119: parser error : Failure to process entity QUICKSTART
&QUICKSTART;

I'll have to fix this in the Dia package proper.

Still broken in production SUSE 10.0 Linux:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Could not open help directory:
Error opening directory '/opt/gnome/share/dia/help': No such file or directoryCould not open help directory:
Error opening directory '/opt/gnome/share/dia/help': No such file or directory

The proper path seems to be /opt/gnome/share/gnome/help/dia/

Comment 7 JP Rosevear 2007-10-10 14:47:14 UTC

Don't get the error on 10.3 but help still does not open.  Too minor for SLED 10 update, but will fix in oS 11.0.

Ensure GNOME-style doc directory is used

Comment 9 Boyd Timothy 2007-10-31 22:46:16 UTC

Created attachment 181581 [details]
Fix the quotation marks in "en"

Patch from upstream SVN to fix the English help file so that the XML help file will parse correctly.

Comment 10 Boyd Timothy 2007-10-31 22:50:03 UTC

The last two patches have been applied to STABLE in abuild.
