<pre>Description:
Recently (post-7.0?) Help->LibreOfficeDevHelp results in
Could not find Help page (404).
That is an error. Possible causes are:
The page does not exists and must be created.
The page exists, but the Help ID is wrong or missing.
Use the Module, Contents, Index and Search selectors to find the right page.
The following data could be helpful in locating the error:
Help ID: .uno:HelpIndex
The browser's Address bar contains
file:///path/to/instdir/opt/libreofficedev7.1/help/en-US/text/shared/05/err_html.html?System=UNIX&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=.uno:HelpIndex
(that file exists).
I am running a "parallel installation" as described in
<a href="https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux">https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux</a>
(In summary: Download the main and helppack .tar.gz files, and for each untar
into a temp directory and then, for each .deb file, do
dpkg-deb -x <file.deb> /path/to/installdir
)
I'll attach a simple download-and-install script which reproduces my
installation.
This regression seems to have happend in the 7.x branch (I think 7.1, not
sure). The 6.x builds do not have this problem.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the attached installer script (or equivalent) to make a "parallel
installation" from the deb main and helppack (en-US) tar files.
2. /path/to/installdir/opt/libreoff*/program/soffice --writer # or --draw
3. Help->LibreOfficeDevHelp
Actual Results:
The above 404 error appears in a browser
Expected Results:
Glorious documentation
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
