  Binary package hint: kde-l10n-ptbr
  
  There are a lot of invalid symbolic links on both the kde-l10n-pt and
  kde-l10n-ptbr packages (and probably others, but I haven't checked).
  They can be found with the following command:
  
  $ find -L /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/* -type l -exec ls -l "{}" \;
  
  And they all follow these four basic patterns (see the attached file for
  the full list):
  
  /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/pt/*/common -> ../common
  /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/pt/*/*/common -> ../../common
  /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/pt_BR/*/common -> ../common
  /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/pt_BR/*/*/common -> ../../common
  
  All the while the linked to /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/(pt or pt_BR)/common
  directories don't exist.
  
  My guess is the correct destination for all the above links should be
  /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/common/, provided mostly by kdelibs5-data,
  hence:
  
  /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/pt/*/common -> ../../en/common
  /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/pt/*/*/common -> ../../../en/common
  /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/pt_BR/*/common -> ../../en/common
  /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/pt_BR/*/*/common -> ../../../en/common
  
  Although maybe a more generic solution, such as moving this "common"
  directory to it's own distinctive place, say
  /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/common, then linking everything to it, including
  the English locale's one.
  
  My system:
  
  - Ubuntu 9.04 (updated from 8.10)
  - kde-l10n-pt 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu3
  - kde-l10n-ptbr 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu3
+ - kdelibs5-data 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu5
