After installation of sage 9.2 local documentation is not accessible from jupyter notebook: http://localhost:8888/kernelspecs/sagemath/doc/index.html?v=20201201102718 gets 404: not found. From sage console: $ cd /opt/sagemath-9.2/local/share/jupyter/kernels/sagemath $ file doc doc: broken symbolic link to /doesnotexist/html/en

Directory C:\Program Files\SageMath 9.2\runtime\opt\sagemath-9.2\local\share\doc\sage\html\en exists an is OK.

I'm looking into it. The new installer had to change some things about how symlinks are handled, so it's entirely possible something got borked here

Turns out this is not unique to the Windows version, and is also broken upstream: https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/30903

For the time being you can work around it by fixing the symlink. In the Sage shell run:

$ ln -sf $SAGE_ROOT/local/share/doc/sage/html/en $SAGE_ROOT/local/share/jupyter/kernels/sagemath/doc

Thanks a lot! It works, at least for Sage installed for single user.
