Description Jakob Petsovits 2005-06-27 12:27:31 UTC
Version:           0.12 (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

In the new version 0.12 (including 0.12.1), the user documentation installs into the wrong folder. Instead of installing into /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/k3b, it goes to /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/doc, which has the result that viewing the documentation in KHelpCenter doesn't work. (That also means that 'Help->K3b Handbook' doesn't work either.)

It seems that this problem is originating in bad migration to the new Subversion folder structure. This is what Lauri Watts said in http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-doc-english&m=111925487820211&w=2:

If I got this right, it means that the documentation files (docbook and screenshots) in the release tarball has to be in doc/k3b/* instead of directly in doc/*. I don't know how the files are copied from SVN to the release tarball structure, but please work this out, as it affects a lot of users.

This is the same thing as #105293 but for a different application.  Whichever svn2dist script you guys are using is quite broken and needs fixing.  

The docs *are* in the right place in SVN, and install correctly if built from real source, this only affects the tarballs.

fixed for k3b.
