           Summary: Kde help search fails too quietly  if htdig is not
                    installed
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: kde
        AssignedTo: debzilla at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: stuart.gilberd at gmail.com
         QAContact: kubuntu-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


htdig should be a dependecy of the base kde packages   
   
Kde 3.4.2 (and older versions)   
   
To reproduce:   
* open help for the first time   
* enter something in the search box   
* a dialog informs you that the index needs to be built   
* step through the index building process, ticking application manuals in the what to index step   
* click build index.     
* the dialog tells you its 100% done (Index creation finished) - yay!   
* but in reality if you happen to click details you see something like the following:   
   
   
INDEXDIR: /home/sgilberd/.kde/share/apps/khelpcenter/index/    
FINDCMD: find /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/ -name index.docbook    
Creating index for 'kde_application_manuals'    
htdig failed    
   
Alternatively you can reproduce this by using "Settings->Build Search index"  
 
Installing htdig from synaptic fixes the problem.
