Ubuntu is a Debian-based distribution, and so is the POV-Ray they include.
The POV-Ray 3.5 distributed by Debian contains broken extensions and it is
*no* official version of POV-Ray. Unofficial versions of POV-ray have to be
supported by those who distribute them, not by the POV-Team. It is clearly
stated every time you start POV-Ray if that version is an official version
or not, and who is responsible for supporting it.

To download the official version of POV-Ray, go to www.povray.org .
