SUMMARY A hyperlink placed on the info page "COREUTILS: Floating point" gets interpreted as an internal link. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Follow the hyperlink "(libc)Parsing of Floats". OBSERVED RESULT Error The Info node (libc)parsing of floats in Info file /usr/share/info/coreutils.info.gz does not exist. EXPECTED RESULT LIBC: Parsing of Floats SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20221224 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.101.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
As asked on IRC, does it work with the 'info' tool? I see an error when trying to click that link: "Cannot find node 'Parsing of Floats'" So it may be an invalid document.
You need to have the glibc info documentation installed (glibc-doc on Ubuntu-based systems, glibc-info on openSUSE). Given that, the link can be followed using the stand-alone Gnu Info reader, but still not using the KDE Help Centre. I therefore think this bug is valid, and should be assigned to kio-extras product which handles the parsing of info files. The bug can be reproduced by: kioclient5 exec 'info:/coreutils/(libc)Parsing of Floats' Whereas: kioclient5 exec 'info:/libc/Parsing of Floats' works OK.
The bug is also present in the upstream info2html. Created a bug report there: https://sourceforge.net/p/info2html/bugs/6/
