Description Michael Widenius 2005-09-16 15:02:45 UTC 
Suse Help center was not able to create help index when CDPATH is used by user.

When using 'Build Search index', the index was reported to go ok (when not
looking at details) but no index was created and any searches reported the error:

Release Notes
Htdig error:
Unable to read configuration file

The bug was that we can't call setgid with CDPATH or ENV environvariables set

A temporary fix was to do the following changes to the /opt/kde3/bin/khc_htdig.pl:

  close CONF;

  $ENV{ PATH } = '';
+ $ENV{ CDPATH } = '';
+ $ENV{ ENV } = '';

  my $ret = system( "$htdigbin/htdig -s -i -c $conffile" );
  if ( $ret != 0 ) {


The real fix is to fix the program that generates the above file.

for 10.1
