[Rd] Problem in vignette packaging of Sweave in utils package

[Yihui Xie]

Strange enough; I just noticed the HTML index pages of several base
packages were gone (e.g. base, stats, tools, utils) under Ubuntu. Not
sure if this is a problem of Debian packages or R itself.

R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22)
Platform: i686-pc-linux-gnu (32-bit)
