I am able to reproduce this bug with yelp 2.30.2-0ubuntu1 and gawk-doc 3.1.6-2build2 on Natty i386 (as well as with yelp 2.30.1-0ubuntu1 and the same gawk-doc package version on Maverick i386). On both systems, yelp does *not* monopolize the CPU while loading. It takes at least 2 minutes to load (I didn't keep waiting after that, but it probably never loads). When I run yelp from a GNOME Terminal, no messages are printed to the command line during the time that I am waiting for yelp to load the gawk documentation.
This does *not* occur with other info pages. For example, after installed gcc-doc 4:4.5.1-1ubuntu3 on the Natty system (and gcc-doc 4:4.4.4-1ubuntu2 on the Maverick system), the command "yelp gcc-doc" worked fine on both systems, and the wait time was only a few seconds in each case. ** Tags added: i386 maverick natty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/587748 Title: unable to read gawk documentation in yelp -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
