Description: Recently (post-7.0?) Help->LibreOfficeDevHelp results in Could not find Help page (404). That is an error. Possible causes are: The page does not exists and must be created. The page exists, but the Help ID is wrong or missing. Use the Module, Contents, Index and Search selectors to find the right page. The following data could be helpful in locating the error: Help ID: .uno:HelpIndex The browser's Address bar contains file:///path/to/instdir/opt/libreofficedev7.1/help/en-US/text/shared/05/err_html.html?System=UNIX&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=.uno:HelpIndex (that file exists). I am running a "parallel installation" as described in https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux (In summary: Download the main and helppack .tar.gz files, and for each untar into a temp directory and then, for each .deb file, do dpkg-deb -x <file.deb> /path/to/installdir ) I'll attach a simple download-and-install script which reproduces my installation. This regression seems to have happend in the 7.x branch (I think 7.1, not sure). The 6.x builds do not have this problem. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run the attached installer script (or equivalent) to make a "parallel installation" from the deb main and helppack (en-US) tar files. 2. /path/to/installdir/opt/libreoff*/program/soffice --writer # or --draw 3. Help->LibreOfficeDevHelp Actual Results: The above 404 error appears in a browser Expected Results: Glorious documentation Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: .

Thank you for reporting the bug. I can confirm that the bug is present in [the LibreOffice version details you tested with (can be copied from the Help ▸ About LibreOffice dialog)]
I confirm with a local build. The path it tries to access is instdir/help/index.html?Target=swriter/.uno%3AHelpIndex&Language=en-US&System=UNIX&Version=7.1
