Is it just me, or I find the obvious reason why ;installHtml doesn't work on 5.8.10 to be the fact that the whole directory /usr/local is missing, along with the bin files in it? It's really weird.
You must be looking at a customer (end user) file system tree.
That part of the directory tree has been missing since Day 0 of the customer (end user) full image updates (and perhaps before).

Look at a factory (production line use only) file system tree and you will find it has /usr/local.

Which is why the current jail break process starts out by installing a factory (production line use only) system image.
(It is not the change in version number that is significant, it is the change customer -> factory that is significant.)

Install USBnetworking on anything 5.x series and find that /usr/local has been recreated. (so that the existing searchbar shortcut commands for USBnetworking work).

And inside of the shell script that ;installHtml calls, this is the part that installs the current jail break:
Code:
# copy files from tar to folders on device
mntroot rw
cd /mnt/us
tar xvf /mnt/us/main-htmlviewer.tar.gz
