Hi,

It seems this is a consequence of using Rarian instead of Scrollkeeper;
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rarian/+bug/208147

There's also a work around described:

        Doc-base omf files are installed somewhat differently from
        others: they are put into /var/lib/doc-base/omf and this
        location is linked to /usr/share/omf/doc-base. Rarian looks for
        OMF files in each directory listed by $XDG_DATA_DIRS variable
        plus /omf suffix which includes /usr/share/omf,
        but /var/lib/doc-base/omf is not searched at all.
        If /var/lib/doc-base/omf path was appended by hand to
        $XDG_DATA_DIRS rarian would find everything and documentation
        would be available in Yelp.

HTH,
