[Python-apps-team] hg help glossary doesn't work (was Re: Mercurial Debian patches applied upstream)

[Faheem Mitha]

Hi Javi and Vincent,

Thanks for the reply. I think I must have been using an earlier version of 
your packaging when I had this problem. If I rebuild the unstable version 
of lenny,

hg help glossary

works fine. I also get one line when grepping as Vincent said.

faheem at orwell[default branch:rev 16]:~$ grep /usr/share/mercurial/help /usr/share/pyshared/mercurial/help.py
         docdir = '/usr/share/mercurial/help'

Apologies for the noise.
                                                        Regards, Faheem.
