>Description:
I discovered an application (misc/xiphos) needed yelp to display its
manual. I installed x11/yelp and still could not display the manual
from within xiphos. However, if I ran yelp from a shell prompt and
passed it the name of the help module .xml file, it displayed fine.
After running update-desktop-database as root I could then display the
help from within the application. It looks to me like adding
update-desktop-database as a post-install task in the port is the
solution - but I may well be wrong.
Maybe something additional needs to be done to make a package install do
the same thing?
Over to the maintainer...
