Can't build fast search index when using sword-text-kjv #1135

Closed toazd closed 11 months ago

toazd commented 11 months ago

I installed xiphos with sword-text-kjv and festival and if I try to build the search index in maintenance it finishes with no error or warning. Then, if I go to do an advanced search I get the warning that no fast search index exists. I didn't have this problem when the sword text was installed to ~/.sword (ie. downloaded by xiphos or another app that supports the sword project).

Platform is kubuntu 22.04.3

$ dpkg -L sword-text-kjv

This is not a Xiphos bug. This is a bug in Kubuntu packaging. They should not ever package those resources and especially not for installation into a global location. You won't be able to create indexes except as super user. Please report this as a bug to (K)Ubuntu and ask them to remove that package. Installation using anything other than the module manager is not supported.

It's a debian bug, because the package comes from debian.
