Dear All,
I have a fresh Debian Stretch (now the official Debian stable)
installation on my machine.
Based on what written here

https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/#debian-jessie-stable

I added the line

deb https://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/bin/linux/debian stretch-cran34/

to my sources in order to have a backport of R 3.4.

The issue is that I am now experiencing some troubles to install some
packages from cran which did not give me any trouble in the past.
The worst is that all I get is an uninformative segmentation fault
error.
For instance, consider the RJSDMX package

install.packages("RJSDMX")
Installing package into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

or the openNLP data

install.packages("openNLPdata")

I enclose also my sessionInfo data

sessionInfo()

attached base packages:

Is anybody else having similar troubles?
I would like to add that I can install other fairly complicated
packages (like tidyverse), so I am really puzzled.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Many thanks

Lorenzo
