Add link to downstream bug
Comment 2 Albert Astals Cid 2019-01-03 21:35:16 UTC 
I'd say Yuri broke this with his changes to khelpclient in https://phabricator.kde.org/D16350

And I'd say this was broken beforehand (not by me even this time). It does not work in Mageia 6 (Applications 17.12, KF 5.42). Just does not work differently (shows index.html when trying to show /usr/share/doc/HTML/en//kpat/index.html#freecell).

It is a bug in KPat. I'll try to create a review request to fix it soon.
Comment 4 Yuri Chornoivan 2019-01-06 06:26:12 UTC 
Git commit 0fd079dcfd49d4c66bc6483c36fb49f7529373ee by Yuri Chornoivan.
Committed on 06/01/2019 at 06:26.
Pushed by yurchor into branch 'Applications/18.12'.

Correct help link for the new versions of KF5 (>52)

Summary:
Due to me "broken" KHelpClient in KF 5.52, links in the help menu show error messages now.

Test Plan:
1. Start KPat.
2. Select Freecell.
3. On the menubar, select "Help -> Help with Freecell".
4. Help for Freecell should be shown.
