yelp ghelp:gnucash-help
Die Adresse »ghelp:gnucash-help« verweist nicht auf eine gültige Seite.

LANG=C yelp ghelp:gnucash-help
The URI ‘ghelp:gnucash-help’ does not point to a valid page.

OTOH
yelp
ghelp:///usr/share/gnucash/gnome/help/gnucash/de_DE/gnucash-help.xml and
yelp ghelp:///usr/share/gnucash/gnome/help/gnucash/C/gnucash-help.xml
are working - just wondering for 3 '/'.


Hm, according https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771530 , which
has a few interesting pointers like comment 4:

But because it was there since suse 10.x I had my own way
 LANG=C yelp /usr/local/share/gnome/help/gnucash-help/C/gnucash-help.xml
to test the result of my work.
