The feature was removed because htdig cannot be used for Ubuntu (since
it cannot be supported at the same level khc is, i.e. latter residing in
the main part of the archives, whereas the former is in universe).
Without htdig installed khc will fail silently which really looks like
broken, and even if installed it does not work for everyone. Simply put
it is crap and ought to be redone from scratch, which we plan on doing,
just that it is not terribly easy.
I am sorry that this change breaks a formerly working capability of
khelpcenter for you, but before it was essentially broken for like 95%
of all users and what Brandon did is make it not appear as broken by
prevent it from showing up at all. Judging that a missing feature is not
as bad as a mostly broken one.
** Changed in: kdebase-runtime (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Won't Fix
