Description:
In order to view the doc file from within gnucsh, yelp needs to be installed. The README (attached) file of gnucash-docs package clearly states that.

If yelp is not installed, the user receive a gui message "GnuCash could not find the files for the help documentation. This is likely because the 'gnucash-docs' package is not installed."

The gnucash logfile shows the follwoing:
CRIT <gnc.gui> [gnc_gnome_help()] The specified location is not supported

Hence, if yelp is installed there is no error message.

I suggest making extra/yelp a dependency or at least an optional dependency.

Additional info:
* package version: 2.6.3-1

Steps to reproduce:
* Install gnucash and gnucash-docs
* verify that yelp is not installed
* start gnucash
* Press F1 to start Help dialog
