Bug#362476: yelp: does not display any help files

[Daniel Blaschke]

Package: yelp
Version: 2.12.2-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

yelp opens with an empty window: below the title "Help Topics" there 
is nothing more. This happens when starting yelp from Desktop/Help (or F1) 
as well as when trying to open the help-page of some application.
(I had the same trouble with version 2.12.2-2)
