Description: help() function doesn't work because R is looking for the less pager at /bin/less whereas Archlinux seems to install less at /usr/bin/less


Additional info:

R error message :

/usr/lib/R/bin/pager: ligne10: /bin/less: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

Steps to reproduce:
unset your PAGER environment variable;

Solving :
set your PAGER environment variable to a correct path
or edit /etc/R/Renvironment and set the PAGER variable to the correct path

The version of r in [testing] fixes this.
