Ubuntu has no Povray 3.6 package, only 3.5.

Much as I love the Debian/Ubuntu package system, Povray is one program
that I don't use the Ubuntu package system for.

The Debian package for Povray (inherited by Ubuntu) has been a little
bit screwed up for a while. The old maintainer included an SSL patch
that was incompatible with Povray 3.6. If a 3.6 package were released
without the patch, the automatic update would screw up whatever users
depended on the patch.

I'm hoping that when 3.7 (with official SSL support) gets released, this
mess will go away.

You know you've been raytracing too long when you install voice
recognition software to use in your script editor and a month later find
yourself using a tape recorder to speak for you because your voice is shot.
