Bug Description

Binary package hint: qt-creator

In Qt Creator, there is no help feature available.

To reproduce:

sudo apt-get install qt-creator qt4-doc

Open Qt Creator, click the Help icon in the left-hand vertical toolbar. Help windows are completely blank. No contents, no index, nothing.

Unsure of what to do, I tried to configure the location of the help files manually via the Tools -> Options -> Help -> Documentation setting. When I tried to add /usr/share/qt4/doc/qch/qt.qch as registered documentation, Qt Creator returns an error: "The file /usr/share/qt4/doc/qch/qt.qch is not a valid Qt Help file!"

I've already attempted reinstalling qt-creator and qt4-doc. I have also installed all recommended and suggested packages for qt-creator as well as the qt4-doc-html package (just in case).

you need to install the package libqt4-sql-sqlite(2), which should be a dependency of qt-creator anyway. But this solves the problem right now.
