Bug Description
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/
FINDCMD: find /usr/share/
Creating index for 'kde_applicatio
htdig failed
Alternatively you can reproduce this by using "Settings->Build Search index"
Installing htdig from synaptic fixes the problem.

If you install htdig, does it work? Even with htdig installed, I can't get
KHelpCenter to actually index the handbooks, though it tells me that it
succeeded. A quick google revealed a large number of people with similar
problems. See KDE bug #102912 and Gentoo bug #89515 for a sample.
Unless there is some trick I'm missing, I suspect that this feature is
simply broken, or at least unsupported by Debian's htdig.

Indeed.

Perhaps the only problem is simply that it isn't using Debian's correct path
of /usr/share/

Hmm, wait. I set home to point to localhost meanwhile. Removing that
khelpcenter does not crash but I get the same output (only my file is

Yeah and looking at htdig upstream this project seems to be very slow...
The 3.2.0b6 is 12 months old.
While you found the packages, I compiled htdig3.2.0b6 from source and
installed in $HOME. But khelpcenter doesn't find htdig...
So I tried the deb and yes it seems that creating the index is comletely
broken. At least: khelpcenter tries to resolve all the help://XXX URL's
via normal DNS, which is wrong, IMHO. I'll add another comment to the
upstream bugreport...

Since this is really much more of an upstream bug than a missing depend, I'm
lowering the severity to important, since the bug itself is not RC. When
upstream gets its act together, then we'll add the necessary depend(s).
Until then, it/they would be superfluous.

Just FYI, this problem is an upstream bug, reported in the KDE BTS
dozens of times, that no one can seem to be bothered to fix. Nothing
Debian specific. No version of htdig, whether present in Debian or not,

Installing htdig through apt, I'm informed that the htdig package has been split in to the stable and unstable packages. The stable package is installed by default. It seems the stable version should be moved to the main repositories so that it can be a KDE dependency and the unstable should be left in Universe.

Adding a "me too" to Ryans error. This was a problem on Dapper as well as Edgy(kubuntu RC, KDE 3.5.5). My personal inclination is to mark this bugs priority as High (even though it is an easy [I think] fix). IMHO, it is pretty severe when you can not create a search index for the help files.

This will always be a problem because htdig is no longer maintained, and hasn't been maintained. BUT... We can some how grab the version OpenSUSE uses as it works great there, or we work with the Strigi guys to get it implemented into KHelpCenter. This is what we are currently working on with the KDE doc/dev team with Strigi.

it's installable, but that does not mean it's being maintained. The debian maintainer orphaned this package long ago, and until this package has someone who wants to maintain it (and fix the CVE's for it), it will not make it into main, hence it wont be able to be a dependancy.

I think this bug should have a much higher priority.
Imagine you know little about Linux, or even about any kind of operating system. You install Kubuntu because you want a nice user-friendly desktop environment, but the help system upon which you depend to find your way around won't answer your questions. IMO that is a real blocker.
If a fundamental feature of KDE just won't work without htdig, then htdig just has to be pulled in as a dependency, maintained or not.
Guillaume Martres (smarter) wrote : | #37 |
This bug is still present on Gutsy, additionaly you must do "sudo ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh" to make it work.
tuxo (beat-fasel) wrote : | #38 |
The KDE helpcenter (KDE version 3.5.8) still has no working search facility after the release of Gutsy Gibbon. Apparently, the reason is the missing htdig search system that is not installed as it is not maintained anymore. As has been mentioned 9 months ago by another poster in this bug report, Strigi might be an alternative to htdig, especially that it is now included by default in Gutsy. I really hope that this bug gets some attention. I have seen more than one new Kubuntu user that tried to use the search facility of the KDE Helpcenter and becoming very frustrated.
keyboardashtray (tonyg100) wrote : | #39 |
So in the meantime, until this is fixed, is the way to get the search index in KDE help center to work to install htdig, and then enter "sudo ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh" like Guillaume said?

Cyril BUQUET,
Unfortunately the failure you're having is another example of dash breaking something.
I did what you suggested
1) sudo apt-get install htdig
2) sudo vi /usr/bin/
>>> change : my $findpath = "$kdekdehtmldir
>>> with : my $findpath = "$kdehtmldir/
(line 94)
But then had to change the sym link for /bin/sh from dash to bash.
3) sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.old
4) sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
And then when I re-ran the index build it worked.
Probably would be better to change the script that the help indexer uses to explicitly call /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh though.

The completely broken Help Search continues with KHelpCenter 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.3) in Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty (amd64). htdig is STILL not a dependency of KDE packages or khelpcenter4. KPackageKit lists a "htdig - 1:3.2.0b6-8"; its Required by is empty, as is its File List (??!).
I installed this htdig package, and then KHelpCenter's [Build Search Index...] built me a new index, ending with ""ht://dig ... Finished successfully" and it seemingly worked. There were no problems with bash or perl files as other comments here report with Hardy.
Please just add htdig as a dependency to khelpcenter4, as has been done in Debian lenny! Compare http://

This bug is here since 2005, could we put it in higher priority please? Not having a working KDE help system for the basic user in Kubuntu is really not acceptable.
The workaround is doable, but this is hardly something one can expect from a basic user who already has a hard time finding his/her way around. And has no hel system available...
Harald Sitter (apachelogger) wrote : | #46 |
A higher priority does not change the fact that Kubuntu does not have the resources, nor does any team member have interest to rewrite KHelpCenter. Same applies for KDE.
Just adding htdig is not the solutions as it was probably stated in some comment above that it is horrible junk, dragging in more horrible junk, not working reliably once it junked it's way through all the docbooks, in case it even manages to do that without falling apart, and even if all that weren't the case it still would not resolve all the other shortcomings, bottlenecks and usability issues that make it the second most awful application in core KDE (kuser being the most awful one).
From my point of view Medium is too high already, since there are much more awkward issues and since this issues is only part of the bigger one that KHC is unmaintained for the better part.
Simply put: KHC needs a rewrite
art alexion (art-alexion) wrote : | #47 |
I find Harald's response troubling and totally agree with Myriam. I don't use the help system much any more, but new users and what she describes as "basic" users, need a working help system.
With all of the "horrible junk" already a part of the default kubuntu install, a working help system seems worth it.

I see the problem is that htdig is not supported and maintained, yet to properly work, khelpcenter should depend on it. I don't think Kubuntu should depend on something unmaintained, but I think it is detrimental to Ubuntu to expose a feature that is non-functionnal.
I think the middle ground would be completely disabling the search feature if it cannot work, saying htdig should be installed. People would at least know this is not working, why it doesn't work, and how to make it work if they want to.

Harald, I value your comments and blog, but this bug is about KDE help search failing because of htdig. In my experience as a n00b with Jaunty, installing htdig didn't "drag in more horrible junk", it simply made KHC search work -- badly, but FAR better than total failure. I humbly submit that the one-line packaging change to add htdig as a dependency (as Debian Lenny has done) will fix this bug in Jaunty and Karmic.
"KHC needs a rewrite" is a different bug. I couldn't find it in Launchpad or at bugs.kde.org, the closest I could find is "Add Builtin Help Center Search Facility Indexer", https:/
Francois-Denis, FWIW on MS-Windows, KHelpCenter has no Search tab but I can't figure out how it's disabled. If it were easy to configure then I agree Kubuntu could disable the search tab and add more instructions to enabling search.
Where's a good place to document this problem and the workaround ? I couldn't find "Kubuntu 9.04 release notes" anywhere, and perhaps http://

If someone decides the resolution of this bug is really to disable the Search tab rather than make htdig a dependency...
