[Bug 19767] Re: Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed

[Francois-Denis Gonthier]

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.
