Title:RHBA-2007:0026: htdig bug fix update (None)
Description:The htdig system is a complete world wide web indexing and searching system for a small domain or intranet. This system is not meant to replace the need for powerful internet-wide search systems like Lycos, Infoseek, Webcrawler and AltaVista. Instead it is meant to cover the search needs for a single company, campus, or even a particular sub section of a web site. As opposed to some WAIS-based or web-server based search engines, htdig can span several web servers at a site. The type of these different web servers doesn't matter as long as they understand the HTTP 1.0 protocol. htdig is also used by KDE to search KDE's HTML documentation.

Bugs fixed in this update include:

rundig script (/usr/bin/rundig) missed "$opts" on two calls to htfuzzy.

htfuzzy segfaulted when database is empty.

htdig was unable to open empty database on 64bits.

htdig showed full path to configuration file when accessed from the web.

Users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these issues.
