abind gets only updated infrequently upstream. What happened here is that the current r-cran-abind package was created when we used a different framework for html doc updates then we currently do -- now we don't call R anymore as R itself updates the index if needed once you call help.start(). Plus, we moved files from /usr/lib/R to /usr/share/R so the call fails. | The postrm script looks a bit strange: | | if test -x /usr/bin/R; then | R CMD perl /usr/lib/R/share/perl/build-help.pl --htmllists | fi | R CMD perl /usr/lib/R/share/perl/build-help.pl --htmllists That looks like a simple bug. The last line shouldn't be there. (Checking...) Turns out that it is already fixed in my sources. I'll prepare a -3 revision.
