Kde Help Center can't build an index
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:32 EST
Description of problem: In Konsole, I clicked on help/Konsole Handbook, and the KDE help center popped up. Building a search index seemed to be the thing to do, so I checked the box for unix man pages, and clicked on 'Build search index'. On the next screen I checked 'Application manuals' and clicked on 'Build index'. The process finished amazingly fast, so I was suspicious that it didn't do anything at all. That seems to be the case; after clicking on 'Details' the dialog box ends with 'htdig failed'. It appears that htdig isn't installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.5.2-0.4.fc5 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above 2. 3. Actual results: INDEXDIR: /home/croot/.kde/share/apps/khelpcenter/index/ FINDCMD: find /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/ -name index.docbook Creating index for 'kde_application_manuals' htdig failed Expected results: Additional info:
I've installed htdig ('yum install htdig'), and the problem goes away. The rpm for kdebase either needs to have a dependency for htdig added, or it needs to have a workaround if htdig is not installed.
yes it seems htdig is needed here. I have added requires on htdig in next kdebase rebuild. It will be available in FC5-update soon. Many thanks for your report.
