You quoted a message (skipping its date) that is rather old,

Time difference of 140 days
So what follows is now somewhat out of context.
| Today I needed to run

| sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra
|
| in order to build a package in R 2.14.1 Ubuntu 11.10

| * checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING
| LaTeX errors when creating PDF version.

| LaTeX errors found:

Michael does his work (based on my Debian packages) so that you do not have
to live with outdated packaged. And ...
| error/warning does not occur... Probably wisest to install
| texlive-fonts-extra for now.
... the current r-base-dev package now has a 'Suggests:' on
texlive-fonts-extra, partly in result of the thread you replied to, 4+ months
later.
All this is off-topic here anyway and should have been r-sig-debian.
Hope this helps, Dirk

Uwe Yes, on CRAN but not on the R Homepage. I do agree with Hans that people do not seem to find it easily. One reason may be the term "Task Views" is fine once you know what it is, but it is not completely self explanatory, so you have to look to see what it is. Thus, a bit like reading documentation, people do not always do it. Perhaps a bullet in "Getting Started" would help?
