gnome-help is there. It looks like gnome-control-center is missing its help documents.

Yeah, we have it explicitly disabled:

%configure --disable-static --enable-systemd --disable-documentation

Probably to save disk space. A lot of the gnome packages have non-trivial sized doc directories.

No it was to fix build failures, I'll see if I can underp it.

OK just to clarify, do you have these packages installed?

gnome-users-docs
yelp

So yeah I just checked, --enable-documentation literally just builds a man page.

Updated to latest GCC (rel 42) and issue is not resolved.

Please read my comments again. It's not related to the update. It's dependent on what packages the user has installed.

Ah okay, my misunderstanding. Can confirm that having both installed resolves the issue.

Awesome. So then we need to decide if we force these through as an update dependency or not. :/

I had yelp installed but not gnome-users-docs.

If we do, the ISO would slightly larger (12mb package size and 40mb installed size -- accounting for both yelp and gnome-user-docs). So basically a couple gifs worth from the Solus blogs, for much larger utility.

@ikey Given we already have yelp listed in packages for our ISO creation, would it just make sense to add gnome-user-docs there and call it a day or should we mark it as a rundep of gnome-control-center?

Resolved for our primary image as of https://git.solus-project.com/images/primary/commit/?id=7b3f4524b24d589a8b0707ac891051ab8e63dc02

This will no longer be an issue OOTB for new installations on future Solus snapshots.

@JoshStrobl Thanks for fixing this. As far as I remember this also needs to be fixed for the MATE edition, will check later and talk to you on IRC.
