Package: xaos
Version: 3.2-3
Severity: normal

The xaos manual page says to start xaos and press h 3 times to get full
documentation, unfortunately this just makes it print "Help file not
found". If I run xaos under strace I get these lines output: 

open("${prefix}/share/XaoS/help/xaos.hlp", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file 
or directory)
open("/home/pabs//help/xaos.hlp", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
open("/home/pabs//../help/xaos.hlp", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
open("./help/xaos.hlp", O_RDONLY)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("../help/xaos.hlp", O_RDONLY)      = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("./xaos.hlp", O_RDONLY)            = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

This seems to indicate a bug in the xaos configuration process,
especially since I have a /usr/share/XaoS/help/xaos.hlp file.
