Cannot open offline help

kh flag

When pressing F1 while running any libreoffice tool, my default browser (chromium) is opened with the following url:

file:///usr/share/libreoffice/help/index.html?
     Target=scalc/modules/scalc/ui/inputbar/sc_input_window
     &Language=de&System=UNIX&Version=7.3

I receive a file not found error.

The index.html files, that are installed with the help packages, I have installed, are:

~ dpkg -L libreoffice-help-de | grep index.html
/usr/share/libreoffice/help/de/text/swriter/guide/indices_index.html
~ dpkg -L libreoffice-help-common | grep index.html
/usr/share/libreoffice/help/index.html
~ dpkg -L libreoffice-help-en-us | grep index.html
/usr/share/libreoffice/help/en-US/text/swriter/guide/indices_index.html

The file is available with the following permissions:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
