Package: r-base Version: 2.2.0.final-4 Severity: normal I'm trying to package an application that links against libR.so (rkward, ITP-bug: #333392). As far as I understand, the whole point of providing the shared library, instead of only the static linked version of R is to allow applications to embed/link against R.
However, since libR.so is currently located in /usr/lib/R/lib, and only there, I can not link against it without using rpath. I do not know about the relevant policies, but I really think, libR.so should be in /usr/lib, or at least there should be a link to libR.so in /usr/lib. Could you please provide such a link in the r-base-core package?
