Bug Description

Binary package hint: python2.6

python2.5-doc installs a symlink from /usr/share/devhelp/books/python2.5 to /usr/share/doc/python2.5/html so the python documentation shows up in devhelp.

python2.6-doc no longer does this, so there's no python documentation in devhelp anymore.

This is on jaunty with python2.6-doc 2.6.1-1ubuntu1

python2.6 (2.6.1-1ubuntu8) jaunty; urgency=low

  [Matthias Klose]
  * Update to 20090402, taken from the 2.6 release branch.
    - Fix issues #2625, #5068, #5387, #5536, #5561, #5619, #5632.
  * Address issues when working with PYTHONUSERBASE and non standard prefix
    (pointed out by Larry Hastings):
    - distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(): Only return ".../dist-packages" if
      prefix is the default prefix and if PYTHONUSERBASE is not set in the
      environment.
    - site.addusersitepackages(): Add USER_BASE/.../dist-packages to sys.path.
  * Do not add /usr/lib/pythonXY.zip on sys.path.

  [Marc Deslauriers]
  * debian/pyhtml2devhelp.py: update for python 2.6
  * debian/rules: re-enable documentation files for devhelp. LP: #338791.

It seems pyhtml2devhelp.py is still buggy.

I'll work on it some more and send a new patch.
