help broken in all kde3 apps in intrepid

[Michael Tsang]

Affected: intrepid/jaunty
Way to reproduce:
1. Open a KDE 3 app (e.g. Amarok)
2. Click Help -> *** Handbook
Expected result:
A Help centre window comes up.
Actual result:
An error box comes up which says
Could not launch the KDE Help Center:
Could not find service 'khelpcenter':
Workaround:
move all things in /usr/share/doc/kde4 into /usr/share/doc/kde and create a link in place of it.
move all things in /usr/share/kde4/services into /usr/share/services and create a link in place of it.

Thank you for reporting this bug. I can confirm this behaviour here.

This bug was fixed in the package kdelibs - 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-1ubuntu6

---------------
kdelibs (4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-1ubuntu6) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Add kubuntu_98_fix_khc_invocation.diff to invoke khelpcenter's exectuable
    directly instead of trying to access it via DCOP or start it using it's
    service file. Both are not available without KDE 3's kdebase (LP: #310135)
