Installed: 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1
To reproduce:
Enter info:/coreutils/Top into the konqueror URL bar.

The following error message is displayed:

Note: I've reported this to kde-runtime, because:
dpkg -S /usr/share/kde4/apps/kio_info/kde-info2html
states that kde-runtime is "responsible" for this file.
If I've reported it in the wrong place, I apologise.
