An error? That could be a lot of things. What is the output if you
run this:
ls -ld /usr/local/share/doc/povray-3.6/html
Do you see this message:
ls: cannot access html: No such file or directory
Or does something else happen? Either the folder does not exist, or
you don't have permissions to it. A folder must have the execute bit
set in order to enter it. The permissions problem could be in a
higher-level folder, like /usr/local/share/doc/povray-3.6,
/usr/local/share/doc, etc. Any folder you cannot enter will hose all
others under it.
Isn't there an apt command you can use to list the files in a package?
Someone else will have to jump in here. Or synaptic will let you
click your way to it.
