Build of search index in khelpcenter fails for kubuntu 5.04

[Christof Pflumm]

I can't build a search index for the application manuals in khelpcenter. I am
working with kubuntu 5.04 (amd64 version). khelpcenter should be the latest version:

dpkg -l
ii khelpcenter 3.4.0-0ubuntu18

Output when trying to build the search index:

INDEXDIR: /home/pflumm/.kde/share/apps/khelpcenter/index/
FINDCMD: find /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/ -name index.docbook
Creating index for 'kde_application_manuals'
find: /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/: No such file or directory
Warning: unknown locale!

One problem certainly is that /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/ does not exist. The
documentation resides in /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/ Because of this,
/usr/bin/khc_docbookdig.pl can't find the docu. But even if the pathes in
/usr/bin/khc_docbookdig.pl are corrected, it does not work. First, it looks as
if the build is successful, but using htdig -vvv in /usr/bin/khc_docbookdig.pl
(instead of -v only) shows that the docus are not generated because the
corresponding files are rejected by htdig with messages like

href: help://kedit/index.docbook (/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kedit/index.docbook)
   Rejected: Not an http or relative link!
url rejected: (level 1)help://kedit/index.docbook

(see also more detailed output towards the end) After some trying around, I
think that the problem is that the mime type of the docbook files is not
obtained correctly, but I am not sure about this.

Output when paths corrected and htdig -vvv is used:
