[Bug 450720] [NEW] R_PDFVIEWER not set in most recent R built in Karmic

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: r-base

This bug was originally reported on the r-sig-debian list (for Debian /
Ubuntu user of R).

R_PDFVIEWER ends up as being undefined in /etc/R/Revnviron meaning that
commands to launch pdf documents fail (unless the user set a pdf viewer
option herself).

The problem was that the test for xdg-open as a pdf viewer had dropped
upstream (and is back in R 2.10.0 beta).  I fixed this in Debian release
2.9.2-4, and have just place a new 'sync' from Debian in the revor PPA
on launchpad as 2.9.2-3ubuntu1~ppa1.

Other than the bug fix, this release also has a new 'greeting text' in
/etc/R/Rprofile.site -- with a much shorter two-line text about
REvolution R packages (in case none are installed).

So if this bui;d could get moved into Karmic it would be good.
