 Good catch.

Well, actually it is me who was caught :)

 Just tell us whether you volunteer to do this or if you want somebody
 else (=me) caring for it. 

Hi Andreas,

I will do it if there are no further objections.

Have a nice week-end,

Charles

Bug#786473: r-cran-rcurl: Linking to the NSS library causes failures.

2015-05-21 Thread Charles Plessy
Package: r-cran-rcurl
Version: 1.95-4.3-1
Severity: important

Hi all,

we distribure RCurl linked to libcurl3-nss, but this causes failures
with the 'devtools' R package:

 - https://github.com/hadley/devtools/issues/650
 - https://github.com/hadley/devtools/issues/467
 - 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23287685/devtoolsinstall-github-error-in-function-type-msg-aserror-true-not-se

The solution to these failures is to link to libcurl3 instead (by
build-depending on libcurl4-openssl-dev).

Would that cause forseable problems ?  If not, I would be tempted to
call the bug serious and ask for a stable update.

What would you think about this ?

Cheers,
