Well it may look like it will be out with the new and in with the old.
What is interesting is that RedHat lists the file as
htdig-3.2.0-7.20020505 - not a mention of the "beta" term. Must have been
a typo by someone with bad eyesight who typed "-7" instead of "b4" ;-)
Now does that also mean I would have to replace htdig-web since it has the
same release numbers on the RedHat site as htdig? (I cannot seem find
them on the web.)
I'm surprised, given you've installed htdig-web that you htsearch was not
in you server's cgi-bin directory: part of your original problem as I
recollect.
What is also interesting is that it appears that RedHat used htdig-3.2b3
and then b4 to index the KDE help files in release 7.1 but not 7.2. Might
they have "stabilized" it or is that against the rules without sharing
that stabilization? I think I keep playing with it for now. Haven't gone
production yet.
Faced with the fact that Redhat have baked in some dependencies to
htdig-3.2 in other packages I would be inclined to leave that in place. I'd
download the htdig 3.1.6 source and build that from scratch into a
different base directoy, say /opt/www/htdig (the default I believe) or
/usr/local/htdig or whatever. Then point the MM config variable
HTDIG_RUNDIG_PATH at the 3.1.6 version of rundig. If you are going to get a
conflict between the htdig-3.2's htsearch in your web server cgi-bin
directory with the the htdig-3.1.6 version then run ./configure in the
htdig-3.1.6 --with-cgi-bin-dir set to some other directory in the server's
tree, ServerRoot/cgi-bin/hdig-3.1.6/ for instance, making sure you set the
appropriate permissions it in httpd.conf. Point the MM config variable
HTDIG_SEARCH_URL at this htsearch. The htdig-3.1.6 should do its stuff for
the mail lists and leave htdig-3.2 to do whatever Redhat intended. Best (or
worst) of both worlds.

Having been through this recently at a site I help out on, I can attest
that for us, the drop back to HTDig 3.1.6 (away from the 3.2.b4) was
well worth the effort.

It's interesting that Red Hat should push the beta out on a production
release. I found it to be of less than production quality and highly
recommend that you remove v3.2.b4 and install v3.1.6 of HTDig.

Just so you know, it is in the standard "everything" install of the
cheapest CD version of 8.0 but looking at the bottom of the search
