Package: r-base-core Version: 2.2.1-3 Severity: important Hi,
Maybe the severity should be raised to RC. I let you decide. The latest version of r-base-core breaks removal and installation of R modules. I have used r-cran-matrix as an example: # dpkg -s r-base-core Package: r-base-core Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: math Installed-Size: 28200 Maintainer: Dirk Eddelbuettel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Source: r-base Version: 2.2.1-1 # aptitude install r-cran-matrix Selecting previously deselected package r-cran-matrix.

The workaround is # ln -s /usr/share/R/share /usr/lib/R/share So I believe (from the change log) this bug is a consequence of the solution to #300765. By the way, thanks for your efforts to make R FHS compliant. Maybe all R modules have to be rebuilt to solve this problem, but there is still the need for a clean upgrade path.
