R devel - May 2004 - installed.packages hyperlink wrong in two spots (PR#6850)

Full_Name: Kevin Wright
Version: 1.9.0
OS: Windows 2000
Submission from: (NULL) (170.54.59.160)



The html help file for the 'library' function contains this sentence:

 Note that installed.packages() returns...

The 'installed.packages' hyperlink points to
'installed.packages.html'.  The
latter file does not exist for me.  I suspect the link should be to
'update.packages.html'.

I searched the 'library' directory for other instances of
'installed.packages.html' and also found the string in the following
file:
getDepList.html


Is there any kind of hyperlink checking that happens during the R build process?
 I imagine that this thought has been considered before.

Those are forwrd references to package utils, so have to be resolved 
manually.

No, yes.  We look forwards to reviewing your contribution of such a 
checker.
