Bug Description
After installing recoll on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, some external applications/
Recoll > File > Show Missing Helpers
It is not always trivial to find the correct packages to install.
I suggest to add at least next dependencies to make recoll work right out of the box:
antiword
unrtf
libwpd-tools (for wpd2html, an application related to WordPerfect files)
catdoc (for xls2csv, an application related to MSWord files)
lyx
libimage-
python-mutagen (for python:mutagen)
For python:midi, I didn't find the package to install.
Other dependencies could be needed, but perhaps these were already present on my system. So some checks should be performed on a fresh installed system.
After installing a missing application, it is necessary to update (not rebuild) the index of Recoll (which goes amazing fast) by issuing:
Recoll > File > Update index
After this index update, the list of missing helpers will also be updated.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
