translates to english as "doc file can't be found at location /usr/share/doc/kicad/help/../footprints_doc/footprints.pdf"
also as you can see in the console the file is present at location /usr/share/doc/kicad/help/footprints_doc/footprints.pdf

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This file no longer exists as part of the kicad-library repo so attempting to open this file doesn't make any sense. I'll remove this if no one objects. If you do object, please submit a patch to define the behavior that you expect subject to the usual lead developer approval.

[Eldar Khayrullin (eldar)]

I don't use this feature.

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

I installed the latest stable release of KiCad and indeed the footprint pdf file is not longer installed as part of KiCad. I'm going to remove this feature since it's not longer supported unless someone objects. If you object and want to keep this feature, I'm making you responsible for building and maintaining the footprint pdf file and adding it to the all of the installers.

I fixed this in the product repo. The stable branch is not a clean merge so I will fix the stable branch when I get a chance.
