Ok, so the kdelib probably changed. In one version of the kdelib,
KApplication::kde_htmldir() returns /usr/share/doc/HTML and in another version it
returns /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML.

I hope they don't change it too often, because it means that all the packages need to
be updated.

I won't. I will update the kdelib to the latest version instead, and make the package
with it.

Thanks for your help.
