[Bug 948223] [NEW] okular-extra-backends claims to add chm support, but it does not

[Benjamin Weggenmann]

Public bug reported:

According to the package description, okular-extra-backends should add support for viewing chm files.
However, no files for chm support are installed and Okular cannot open chm files.
Actual support for chm files in further builds would be highly appreciated to avoid having to install an extra viewer for every filetype. The package kchmviewer in the repository is a bit outdated (v5.3 instead of v6.0).
