I'm still having trouble getting rpy to work. I installed R from unstable (2.3.0-1) succesfully: # apt-get -t unstable install r-base ... # dpkg -p r-base Package: r-base Priority: optional Section: math Installed-Size: 56 Maintainer: Dirk Eddelbuettel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 2.3.0-1 Depends: r-base-core (= 2.3.0-1), r-recommended (= 2.3.0-1) Recommends: r-base-html, r-base-latex Suggests: ess, r-doc-info | r-doc-pdf | r-doc-html Size: 22566 When I try to install python2.3-rpy with the following command: # apt-get -t testing install python2.3-rpy I get a dependency error: Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: python2.3-rpy: Depends: r-base-core (< 2.2.2) but 2.3.0-1 is to be installed E: Broken packages
