(PR#1274) [Rd] data(): Error in FUN(X[[2]], ...) : subscript
data() is making assumptions about the structure of the 00Index files that are not warranted. All `Writing R Extensions' says is The @file{data} subdirectory should also contain a @file{00Index} file that describes the datasets available. Ideally this should have a one-line description of each dataset, with full documentation in the @file{man} directory. whereas data() is assuming it is in a two-column format as generated by Rdindex. Those packages contain other information in the file, which they are allowed to do. More precisely, read.00Index is documented as Read item/description information from 00Index-style files. Such files are description lists rendered in tabular form, and currently used for the object, data and demo indices and `TITLE' and that's not required.
