Re: gtkmm and glibmm DevHelp books do not work

[Phil Wolff <adiabat centurylink net>]

My system: Ubuntu 16.04, libgtkmm-3.0-doc 3.18.0-1, libglibmm-2.4-doc 
2.46.3-1, devhelp 3.18.1. Docs are accessible via devhelp as expected.

I note that the two links you specify were reported in 2011 and 2007…
