Package: r-base-core
Version: 2.3.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

r-base-core's postinst only looks once at the system paper size. If the admin
changes it, R won't notice the change:

            #Sysfile=`/etc/papersize`
            #syspaper=`cat $Sysfile`
            syspaper=`/usr/bin/paperconf`
            #echo "Papersize in /etc is $syspaper"
            Rfile=/etc/R/Renviron
            rpaper=`grep ^R_PAPERSIZE $Rfile | cut -d"'" -f2`
            #echo "Papersize in Renviron is $rpaper"
            if [ "$syspaper" != "$rpaper" ] 
            then
                echo "Changing R_PAPERSIZE from $rpaper to $syspaper"
                perl -p -i -e "s|\'$rpaper\'|\'$syspaper\'|"    "$Rfile"
            fi

/etc/R/Renviron looks like it is a sh script. Wouldn't it better to call
paperconf there?
