It's a bug. If I look at /etc/R/Renviron I see

## Default PDF viewer
R_PDFVIEWER=${R_PDFVIEWER-''}

and that should not be empty. My bad -- will fix.

Until new packages come and fix it, do something like this in ~/.Rprofile:

options("pdfviewer"="kpdf")
      
substituting whichever viewer you like best.
