I realize my last mail lacked an explicit question: Does anyone on this list know why this fails?
We have Ubuntu Linux on a large compute cluster at The Genome Institute, and I'm attempting to move people off of a bunch of privately managed R installations to a single dpkg-based one. My experience with cran2deb is at less than a week, so I hope you'll forgive my ignorance. Any suggestions you have would be appreciated. Thanks!
