Running the virtualbox image for NixOS 18.09, hit this usability issue.

Steps to reproduce

Here is the relevant journalctl line:

Sep 23 04:44:01 nixos xsession[790]: org.kde.khelpcenter: could not start process ("--stylesheet", "/run/current-system/sw/share/khelpcenter/table-of-contents.xslt", "--output", "/home/demo/.cache/khelpcenter/help/__en__plasma-desktop__index.docbook", "/run/current-system/sw/share/doc/HTML/en//plasma-desktop/index.docbook")

It looks like meinproc is missing:

khelpcenter needs meinproc5 to work properly. Hopefully doesn’t effect
closure sizes too much - kdoctools is rather small.

Fixes NixOS#46539
