Comment 1 Ladislav Slezák 2008-12-23 07:58:03 UTC 
Actually the problem was in CommandLine.ycp - value of "help" key in the command line map can be also a list<string> which describes a multi line help text. Unfortunately 'xmlhelp' command supported string type only.

The empty command is the result of the type error. The empty command is not redundant, in fact there is one command missing in the output.

Raising the severity because more yast modules might be affected.

The fix has been submitted to SVN trunk and to Code11 branch.
