I recently installed Mandrake 7.2 where htdig version 3.1.5 is
installed as part of the base installation to support KDE. The
Mandrake RPM installs a cron script that runs rundig daily. For a
good while that produced the following error message:
DB2 problem...: missing or empty key value specified
I do not use htdig for indexing a web server, but as far as I can tell
it is needed by kde for running.
Searching on your web page, the best clue to the error message I could
find where the thread ``DB2 problem ...: missing or empty key value
specified'' (http://www.htdig.org/mail/1999/08/0244.html). Reading
through the thread whether you have solved the problem.
In my case, I eventually worked around the error by installing a small
non-empty web page (concretely, it contains the three words
``Intentionally empty page.''). In my case, it thus seems that the
message was generated by htmerge having to work with an empty word
list (as suggested by the thread message
about:http://www.htdig.org/mail/1999/08/0254.html).
If this is a general problem, it would seem that either htmerge or
rundig should be changed to handle the case of an empty word list. Or
a least, have htmerge produce a less cryptic error message.
I hope this can be to some help.
Best regards
