This is an issue during the upgrade. You did configure your Lazarus help when
you were installing 2.2.0, then upon upgrade (the dialog message that appears)
this remained as is. You need just to go to Tools/Options.../Help/Help
Options and then check all entries replacing 2.2.0 by 2.2.6.

One normally should be able to use $(LazVer), but unfortunately this one has the
Debian full version (2.2.6+dfsg2-1) which is improper for that use.

On the other hand, the system wide configuration file seems OK for HTML help,
but the help files seems to be installed on the wrong location. This is probably
what forced people like you to change the path. However as no one complained, we
missed it.

This looks for me important rather than normal severity.
I'll try to fix this and issue and unblock request.

BTW: With correct path HTML help works well. I don't know if we need to fix CHM
help as FPC doc is already using the HTML format.
