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.

|       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.

Thanks,  Dirk

Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.
