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.

| 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
