patch to fix htfuzzy to ignore numbers in word database when making soundex keys none

Description Gilles Detillieux 2008-03-03 17:21:45 UTC 
Description of problem:
When running "htfuzzy soundex" after indexing with htdig, with the allow_numbers
attribute set to true in htdig.conf, htfuzzy gives the error message:
DB2 problem...: missing or empty key value specified

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.2.0b6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set "allow_numbers: true" in htdig.conf
2. run htdig
3. run "htfuzzy soundex"
  
Actual results:
htfuzzy complains with the error message...
DB2 problem...: missing or empty key value specified

but apart from that it works fine.


Expected results:
No error message.

Additional info:
The patch below fixes this problem by not adding any keys to the soundex
database for indexed numbers.  The patch is for htdig version 3.2.0b6, but the
bug is in all versions of htdig in all Red Hat and Fedora releases.
