[racket-dev] Bug report lost? Here it is again: Issue with help

OK this is weird.

I downloaded 5.93.
Started DrRacket 5.93.
Hit F1.
It went to the page with the new CSS present.
Figured problem was fixed. \o/
BUT:
Ran `raco pkg install` for a dozen packages: some from pkgs.r-l.org,
some local --link.
And now, the problem has returned.
Hit F1.
It goes to page that can't find the CSS.
Same problem with (begin (require racket/help) (help "a string")) at the REPL.

Does that even make any sense??
Could one of the package installs be fubar-ing this??


p.s. I haven't heard anyone else say, "oh I can repro that on OSX",
too. Can anyone?  If not, maybe this is related to why?
