Bug#303791: yelp: Yelp cannot display documentation in texinfo .info format

[Richard Guenther]

Package: yelp
Version: 2.6.5-1
Severity: normal


Yelp doesn't support displaying help in texinfo .info format as shipped
with applications like glame, which had a transition from Gnome1 to
Gnome2.  From using Google I see that yelp in principle should support
displaying .info files.

There is bug #301845 about libgnomevfs2-common which may be related.
