FWIW, attempting to reinstall did not help:

tlmgr install --reinstall powerdot
tlmgr: package repository 
http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/tex/systems/texlive/tlnet
[1/1, ??:??/??:??] reinstall: powerdot [954k]
tlmgr: package log updated: /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-var/web2c/tlmgr.log
running mktexlsr ...
done running mktexlsr.
running mtxrun --generate ...
done running mtxrun --generate.
linux-22mz:/home/juergen # kpsewhich powerdot.cls
linux-22mz:/home/juergen # 

The log does not have anything interesting.

Also, when I unpack the double-packed archive on switch, I only get:

tlpkg/tlpobj/powerdot.tlpobj
