Here khelpcenter crashes when I do a symlink from /u/s/d/kde/HTML ot
/u/s/d/HTML...

I don't quite get what khelpcenter is doing here. 

Hmm, wait. I set home to point to localhost meanwhile. Removing that
khelpcenter does not crash but I get the same output (only my file is
16.6 KB)

Yeah and looking at htdig upstream this project seems to be very slow...
The 3.2.0b6 is 12 months old.

While you found the packages, I compiled htdig3.2.0b6 from source and
installed in $HOME. But khelpcenter doesn't find htdig...

So I tried the deb and yes it seems that creating the index is comletely
broken. At least: khelpcenter tries to resolve all the help://XXX URL's
via normal DNS, which is wrong, IMHO. I'll add another comment to the
upstream bugreport...
