    Help center has gone!

    Hi!

    I can't any more reach the kde3 help center!
    I'm getting this error message instead:


    Code:
    Could not launch the KDE Help Center:
    
    Could not find service 'khelpcenter'.

    It used to work at past.
    I think it has broken, after a game (from kde4) installation.

    I don't know if it helps, but giving:

    Code:
    apt-cache show khelpcenter
    returns:

      E: The command line selection 'r' [from -reinstall] is not known.

        You know, maybe it is --reinstall (two hyphens)?

          Double dash, yes.

          --reinstall
          Re-Install packages that are already installed and at the newest
          version. Configuration Item: APT::Get::ReInstall.

              What do you think it would take to get the Linux devs to agree on a standard for the number of hyphens preceding a command option?

                THANKS guys!!!
                Solved now!
                Help center restored!

                I still don't have it, at kde4 apps (eg. kmahjongg), but I never had it available for kde4 apps, probably because I installed kubuntu with kde3.


                THANKS AGAIN guys!!!
                Happy now!!!
