[Bug] Launching GRASS manual from GUI leads or 'g.manual -i' leads to isolated index.html

[gregorywaynepower]

Describe the bug

Clicking on "GRASS manual" button in wxpython GUI leads to file:///run/user/1000/doc/c71f2992/index.html--which is isolated from where the rest of the documentation files are installed.

g.manual -i also leads to file:///run/user/1000/doc/c71f2992/index.html.

/usr/share/doc/grass-doc/html/index.html is what it used to point to so I could navigate the documentation.

Output of g.gisenv

GISDBASE=/home/gregorywpower/grassdata
LOCATION_NAME=mapping_cary_2264
MAPSET=PERMANENT
GUI=text
PID=34543

Should I be seeing GISBASE_DIR or GRASS_DOC_DIR here?

To reproduce

1. Launch grass.
2. g.manual -i

Expected behavior

Are you on noble or jammy? At least both of them in the PPA seem to exist

Even with that, I'm not sure how I would start to help out debugging this. The old docs in the old release, and an unstable ubuntugis package. I don't know where to look first.

@echoix I'm on jammy. I've started trying to figure out if there's something up with one of my environment variables, because that's where I think something could be going wrong? I've edited the initial post.

Edit: This could be a red herring, but I don't know if c71f2992 in the URL leads to a commit hash?
