relative path in the message.
well, how about just saying "installed in SAGE_SHARE/doc" ?

fix them :–) (not on this ticket...)
>

telling that the [HTML] docs have not been installed (and why), and how
one can change that, which is pretty redundant, as that ''should be'' the
same for all spkgs.

`SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS`, which could probably be considered unexpected
behaviour? (E.g. if one reinstalls an spkg just with different flags, or
in order to run its test suite, but forgets to set
`SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS` to the previous setting? Does anyone use that
variable on a per-package basis? To me it seems a few people have it set
in their shell rcs, and most people don't use it, probably just because
they don't know about... B) )

if they are in "wrong" location, yes. Otherwise, that's probably too much
trouble --- although I as proposed on #14646, there ought to be a default
`SAGE_SHARE/doc/cvxopt/index.html` forwarding to cvxopt website, so,
ideally, `SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS!=yes` would mean putting this forwarding
back in place... Well, even more ideally, this functionality shouldn't be
on the `spkg-install` level, but above, at `sage -i` level.
