[Andrius Merkys]

Source: python-ase
Version: 3.20.1-2

Some parts of the documentation fails to build [1]:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/ase/utils/sphinx.py", line 132, in create_png_files

    raise OSError('Povray command ' + cmd +
OSError: Povray command povray Au-wire.ini 2> /dev/null failed with
error code 256

There are 18 such failures when building on clean chroot. I managed to
get down to only 4 on a VM running sid, thus the cause seems to be
missing dependencies, however, I cannot locate them precisely.

Failures seem to be ignored by the build procedure, thus they do not
cause FTBFS.
