Hmm, check the path under /usr/share/vim/. The file is probably
compressed ("help.txt.gz"), but vim should be able to handle that fine
provided it knows to accept <file>.gz as a target.  There should be a
file (or a symlink) /usr/share/vim/vimrc that contains a line like:

  set helpfile=$VIMRUNTIME/doc/help.txt.gz
