I just found out that 
	~/.local/share/SuperCollider/Help/prettify.js
is a broken symlink to
	../../javascript/prettify/prettify.js
eg. to 
	~/.local/share/javascript
which does not exist on my system.

I changed it to point to /usr/share/SuperCollider/HelpSource/prettify.js
and ran a gentle
	SCDoc.renderAll;
which made the original error (see above) go away. I hope there is a way
this information could help the Debian package maintainers.

Thank you!
Peter
