[Pkg-doc-linux-devel] .dhelp not supported anymore

[Esteban Manchado Velázquez]

reassign 482807 doc-linux-html
thanks

Hi,

    This bug is totally my fault, I'm sorry. For some reason I assumed that
nobody was calling dhelp_parse directly, I thought the only dhelp_parse
"client" was install-docs, so I talked to the doc-base maintainer and we
decided to make some changes to simplify and improve documentation in Debian.
The result is that .dhelp files are not supported anymore, dhelp now just uses
the doc-base format.

    Because of that, the calling convention for dhelp_parse changed, that's
why it's choking with doc-linux-html. The documentation wasn't even updated
(I'm going to upload now, with updated manpage), so I'm the only one to blame
here.

    The good thing is, to fix you only have to remove the dhelp_parse call
from doc-linux-html's postinst, because install-docs will call dhelp_parse
automatically, and dhelp will know about the documentation :-)

    Sorry for the inconvenience. Can you please fix, Frank?
