Description Ryan Lerch 2015-01-30 16:42:29 UTC
Description of problem:
When trying to view the tutorials that are bundled in inkscape (Help > Tutorials > ... in the inkscape menus), inkcsape reports the following error:

Failed to load the requested file /usr/share/inkscape/tutorials/tutorial-basic.svg

This is because the tutorials are in the inkscape-docs subpackage that is not automatically installed when installing Inkscape from the Fedora repos.

The reason this was originally done is because the tutorials take up over 40Mb when installed and on space constrained systems this allowed them to be optional.
