Package: yelp
Version: 2.6.1-3
Severity: important

Dear Debian Devloper,

Yelp fails to start either on pressing the "F1" key in an application, or 
selecting Help->Contents. 

Behaviour:
1.- start gnome-terminal (I also tried nautilus).
2.- press F1, or select the menu Help->Contents
3.- An error window appears, with the message:
There was an error displaying help: The specified location is invalid.
    A Warning message appears in .xsession-errors:
(gnome-terminal:1059): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Cannot load module 
`/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libvfs-help.so' 
(/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libvfs-help.so: cannot open shared object 
file: No such file or directory)

The file /usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libvfs-help.so does not exists in 
my system:
$ ls /usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libvfs-help.so
ls: /usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libvfs-help.so: No such file or directory

Expected behaviour: 
After point 2 above, yelp should start, and open the application help page.

Yelp starts correctly if run from the command line, or the gnome-panel menu.

Best regards, and thank you for your work,

Jaume
