additional info:
1) the problem arises only on pkg build but not on pkg install.
2) just unpacking / repacking Julien's tar file solves the issue.
3) the only difference in the two version that seems relevant is
that the repacked one contains the directory information


drwxr-xr-x marco/Administrators 0 2016-05-22 09:16 generate_html-0.1.11/
-rw-r--r-- marco/Administrators 35147 2016-05-21 22:32

drwxr-xr-x marco/Administrators     0 2016-05-22 09:16 
generate_html-0.1.11/inst/

while the original is missing that info

-rw-r--r-- 0/0           35147 2016-05-21 22:32 generate_html-0.1.11/COPYING
-rw-r--r-- 0/0             573 2016-05-21 22:32

generate_html-0.1.11/inst/generate_html_manual.m

4) generate_html-0.1.10 that has the same structure worked
just the last month. So or it is due to a system change or a
libs change.

Julien's version and repacked one are available also here:
