SUMMARY khelpcenter doesn't find any unix man-pages. Only kde related docs are shown. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open khelpcenter 2. Search for any man page (i.e. passwd) OBSERVED RESULT No search results EXPECTED RESULT Appropriate man pages found SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma: 5.15.0 KDE Frameworks: 5.55.0 Qt: 5.12.1 khelpcenter 18.12.2 (About Help Center shows: "Version 5.7.3", I don't know why) Distro: Archlinux ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Executing: /usr/lib/khc_mansearch.pl --maxcount=10 --words=passwd --method=and shows: passwd: nothing appropriate. I've seen it working in the past.
Is kio-extras installed? (khelpcenter is released as part of a bundle called KDE Applications; 18.12.2 is the version number of the bundle, not the version of program).

I see, however all other apps I checked show the same version as the bundle. Only khelpcenter is different.

I will investigate, but can you please check on Arch forums to check if it's a distribution-specific issue? I don't see relevant changes in kio-man (part of kio-extras) and khelpcenter. > > (khelpcenter is released as part of a bundle called KDE Applications; > > 18.12.2 is the version number of the bundle, not the version of program). > > I see, however all other apps I checked show the same version as the bundle. > Only khelpcenter is different. There are many others with a different version number (on top of my head: all games and edu games shipped with KDE Applications and all KDEPIM.)
