Public bug reported:

System information:
Kubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal using r-base 2.15.1-5ubuntu1 and r-base-core 
2.15.1-5ubuntu1 In addition I have installed 2.15.1-5ubuntu1, build-essential 
11.5ubuntu3 and had done sudo apt-get build-dep r-base too. The uname -a 
command shows this message: Linux 3.5.0-17-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9 
19:32:08 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux

This is my system's memory output from the "free -h" command:
   total       used       free     shared    buffers     almac.
Mem:          1,2G       1,1G       155M         0B        25M       226M
-/+ buffers/cache:       849M       407M
Swap:       1,9G       100M       1,8G

The problem is every time I want to install any package in r-cran with
the function install.packages(), it doesn't matter the package or the
mirror, it crashes.  It seems to be a problem related with the r-base
package and its dependencies, because when I try the same with an
installed R version for windows  running in wine, it does it as
supposed.

I attached the data to this bug related to the crash, however I don't
know what additional data or information to collect in order to diagnose
this problem.  I would gladly submit any information that you think it
could be useful to solve it.

Thank you in advanced for any help given about this subject.

Best regards,

-Andrey
