Indeed the error no longer occurs, but now it says:

%  texdoc blabladibla
...exlive/2024/texmf-dist/scripts/texdoc/texdoclib-view.tlu:24: attempt to index a nil value (local 'docfile')

THis is better, but IMHO still not right. It shouln't orint an internal 
error messages, but give a clear indication that the search term wasn't
found.
