Problem / Fix with yelp 2.30.2_1 on FreeBSD 9.0 with Gnome Desktop 2.32.1

[Jody B. Caldwell]

Dir sir or madam,

I am running Gnome version 2.32.1 under FreeBSD 9.0:

> uname -a
FreeBSD ribsy.private.calinx.com 9.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #0: Tue
Jan  3 07:15:25 UTC 2012
root at obrian.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
> 


I was experiencing a problem where clicking on 'help/contents' in almost
any application would not work and produced an error;

   'Unable to display help for xxxx the specified location is not
supported'


I was finally able to fix this problem with information I found at a
Linux forum:
http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=77196 


Based on that information, I Created the following patch file:

I then activate the changes with the following commands:

    update-desktop-database -q
    update-mime-database /usr/local/share/mime

This fixed the problem for me.  Help now works from within the
applications.

I hope this information will be helpful to you in providing a fix for
all users of this software.
