[R] Docs missing on Debian Wheezy

Greetings.  New to R.

Spent the last couple weeks inhaling what docs are installed on my box
such as the emacs "info" files. 

Wanting to go deeper now and find that I've got lots of these
00Index.html files but their many links all point to nonexistent files.

What package(s) am I missing?

Thanks

The 00Index pages render just fine...

Links such as the first and indeed all of them in this index and lots of
the others I've looked at don't work. 

file:///usr/lib/R/library/compiler/html/compile.html

I've installed every package that I can readily identify as containing
documentation; such as r-doc-html, r-doc-info, r-base-html etc.
