    Description

      In my .pro file I have lines:

      QTC_PLUGIN_DEPENDS += \
        coreplugin \
        debugger \
        help \
        projectexplorer \
        qtsupport

      in source code I'm trying to use Help plugin API for telemetry purposes:

      #include <coreplugin/helpmanager.h>
      #include <plugins/help/helpmanager.h>
      ...
      connect(Help::Internal::HelpManager::instance(), 
              &Help::Internal::HelpManager::helpRequested,
              this, 
              &HelpPagesDataSource::onPageOpenned);

      However get link errors which is strange as other classes in Help plugin uses Help::Internal::HelpManager::instance() without a problem:

       What is the problem could be? Bug? How to solve?
