From the gimp in FC2: The GIMP help files are not installed Could not open '/usr/share/gimp/2.0/help/en/gimp-help.xml'
Shall gimp require gimp-help, what do you think?
Or should gimp rather spit out a "more informative" error message?
Hmm, that helps explain things. I'll add gimp-help to comps in the 'Graphics' group, as a minimum. If you think it makes sense to add the dependency, go for it (main question is whether anyone will want to install gimp without the help). The error message is probably about as good as it can get.
Hmm, I didn't notice it was missing until the gimp-help tarballs were announced ;-). Basically gimp doesn't need the help files for the pure function so I'll leave the dependency out and will change the error message.
