This works for me with the current version of R. As you may know, we have
been making pre-releases of R 2.3.0 in Debian unstable to help R Core test
and debug 2.3.0 before it was actually releases this past Monday.

I guess the bug is that I did not declare rpy to depends on r-base-core (>>
2.2.1) -- as it was built with a pre-release of R 2.3.0, maybe I should have
prevented it from reaching testing.

In any event, the bug will fix itself once R 2.3.0 moves from unstable to
testing.  For that reason, I will set the 'pending' tag and close it once R
2.3.0 has moved to testing. 

I'll CC Greg who may have a good idea.

Cheers, Dirk
