help index cant be created

me again:

when i try to make a search-index for the kde-help, this is the result:

INDEXDIR: /home/fenk/.kde3.5/share/apps/khelpcenter/index/
FINDCMD: find /usr/kde/3.5/share/doc/HTML/en/ -name index.docbook
Creating index for 'kde_application_manuals'
htdig failed

RE: help index cant be created

The reason might be the missing htdig package. I solved it as follows:
1. install htdig (in openSuse package htdig, current version, e.g. 3.2.0b6)
2. restart KDE help center
3. rebuild search index of KDE help center.
