Bug Description

Binary package hint: quickly

Steps:
1. Create an app
2. Write some help
3. use quickly run to confirm that help is working
4. use quickly package to create a package
5. use dpkg -i *.deb to install the deb (I don't think it requires dpkg to trigger the bug, but since sc is currently broken, this is how I installed)
6. run the app from dash
7. Choose Help->Contents

Result:
Yelp opens but shows an error:
The URI ‘ghelp:media-annotator’ does not point to a valid page.

This appears to actually be an issue with python-distutils-extra not yet supporting mallard files.

This bug was fixed in the package python-distutils-extra - 2.26-1

---------------
python-distutils-extra (2.26-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Michael Terry ]
  * build_help.py: Support mallard help files too. (LP: #729451)

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * auto.py: Revert to "except SyntaxError, e" syntax, as Python 2.5 (which we
    still support in current sid) does not yet get along with the new "as"
    syntax. (Closes: #615177)
  * debian/rules: Reintroduce 2to3 call, as we now need to convert above
    except clause back to "as" for the Python 3.
