Yes. it was named .gz when I downloaded it. After gunzip it was named 
htdig-2.1.5-0.1.patch but file still said that it was a compressed archive 
so I renamed it to gz again and ran gunzip. After that it worked.

Nothing in the webserverlog but the comandline test gave no output at all:

[root at jajja mailman-2.1.5]# /usr/bin/htsearch -c 
/prod/mailman/archives/private/si
s/htdig/sis.conf
Enter value for words: ledarhund
Enter value for format: short
Content-type: text/html

[root at jajja mailman-2.1.5]#

The htdig cron event has scanned the archive and all files are there:
[root at jajja htdig]# ls -l
total 122064
