           Summary: kio_man cannot view bashbuiltins(1) containing .so
                    link
           Product: kio
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: man
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: wstephenson at kde.org


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Ref: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489757

The .so element pulls in part of bash(1) and our man2html.cpp cannot handle
this, so we get an error from kio_man.

Our man guy tells me that opening the manpage via zsoelim would dereference the
.so but this would introduce a dependency on man - which is probably why we
have this man2html code inside the ioslave, instead of running a groff via
KProcess, and i have no idea how portable this would be.
