I can reproduce this bug on an i386 Lubuntu Natty Alpha 1 system with
yelp 2.30.1-0ubuntu1. (There are no installation media for Lubuntu
Natty, but I created the system by installing an Ubuntu Natty Alpha 1
command-line system with the Alternate Install CD and then installing
the package lubuntu-desktop.)
However, I have another system with a fully fledged i386 Ubuntu Natty
Alpha 1 installation (i.e. ubuntu-desktop is installed), on which this
bug does not occur (yelp launches fine).
When I first experienced the problem, Firefox was not installed (Lubuntu
ships with Chromium instead). However, when I installed Firefox (package
version 4.0~b7+nobinonly-0ubuntu3), the problem persisted. Firefox
itself seems to run fine.
I'm attaching the output of "strace yelp" on my system; for convenience,
here are the last 10 lines:
open("/usr/lib/xulrunner-2.0b7/libxpcom.so", O_RDONLY) = 7
read(7,
"\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\240\33\0\0004\0\0\0"..., 512)

MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 7, 0x2) = 0x2e9d000

) = 28
exit_group(1) = ?
The file /usr/lib/xulrunner-2.0b7/libxpcom.so *does* exist on my system.
A package search for that path in natty on http://packages.ubuntu.com
indicates that the file belongs to the package xulrunner-2.0-dbg. (I am
not saying that this file is the cause of, or necessarily even related
to, this bug; that your system doesn't have it and mine does suggests
that it's not.)
