[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#488671: paraview: Help->Help doesn't work

[Thomas Weber]

Package: paraview
Version: 3.2.2-1
Severity: minor

Selecting Help->Help from the menu, the following error message is printed to
the xterm from which paraview was started; a message window with the same error
message pops up as well (I've inserted line breaks into the error message):

$ paraview

specified collection file instead of the default one -showUrl url Shows the
document with the url. -enableRemoteControl Enables Assistant to be remotely

"bookmarks" or "search". -register helpFile Registers the specified help file
