The latest upload of highlight effectively breaks any ikiwiki install using the highlight plugin, since the plugin crashes trying to run the searchDataDir() method.
The attached patch switches to calling initSearchDirectories, per upstream's migration guide. It seems to work on my site.

This patch is safe for (at least) version 3.41 in Debian stable, (dating from 2017-12-09) which has both symbols. I think it's safe for inclusion in IkiWiki. — Jon, 2024-03-04
Ah wait, it's fixed in master, with 9ea3f9dfe7c0341f4e002b48728b8139293e19d0 which branches on the API major version, so should be safer for even older highlight versions. done. — Jon, 2024-03-04
