[Rd] R v2.11.0: HTML package index broken(?)

2009-10-16 Thread Henrik Bengtsson
Hi, in R v2.11.0 (2009-10-15 r50085) on Windows Vista the package index and its links for the package installed in the user-specific library path are all broken, e.g. In http://127.0.0.1:28251/doc/html/packages.html I get: Packages in C:\Users\hb\R\win-library\2.11 C:\Users\hb/R/win-library/2.11
