Bug Description

Before migrating to Ubuntu Precise LTS, I was running Ubuntu Maverick. On Ubuntu Maverick, typing the name of a command which was given a man page, opened than manpage. On Ubuntu Precise, it does not work any more.

The same if in the search field, I type `man:<command>`.

Finally, Yelp is able to find the man page only if it was requested to from a command line, like in `yelp man:<command>`.

I using Yelp a lot on Ubuntu Maverick, and I'm not using it any more on Ubuntu Precise, due to that it may tell you a documentation on a topic does not exist, while it exists.

I also sometime get errors about XML or XSLT, don't remember, but that will be for another but report.
