Do you have /usr/bin/htdig installed?
If not, then this is a duplicate of 146010.

Add Xapian support for indexing and searching

Start using Xapian for indexing and searching the documentation: it
works much better than htp://dig, it provides a C++ API, and it is well
maintained.

Introduce two helper tools to create/update an index, and search on it,
starting from the cache.bz2 files generated by meinproc: this way it is
possible to index the whole text, with the entities already expanded
(something which would not be there when parsing the docbook files
directly). Make use of libxml2 to parse the HTML documents, and get all
the text in them.

Xapian and libxml2 are currently considered as mandatory dependencies:
they are portable, generally available everywhere, and not requiring
themselves too many extra dependencies.

Remove the ht://dig support

ht://dig is basically unmantained for the past decade, and its
integration in khelpcenter has always been a sort of hack (execute
a CGI, and print its resulting HTML text).

Since Xapian is used as better solution, all of the htp://dig
supporting code can be removed completely.
