Package: meshlab
Version: 1.3.2+dfsg1-2+b1
Severity: normal

The help menu has an 'online documentation', as is sadly common these
days (rather than having to docs actually on the machine you are on). Selecting 
this now produces:

------------

Which is a sad state of afairs. If authors are going to foist online
docs on us, they could at least make sure they remain available whilst
the package is in stable distros.

This is really something to pass on to upstream, and illustrates why
actual internal documentation is still a useful thing, never mind
cases when net acess is not available or expensive.
