wajig detail r-base
[...]
Depends: perl, zlib-bin, blas2, ...
                         ^^^^^

wajig detail blas
[...]
Provides: blas2

dpkg -L blas
[...]
/usr/lib/libblas.so.2.0
/usr/lib/libblas.so.2
         ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Do you have blas installed? This is with 1.4.1, but r-base-core_1.5.1
depends on atlas2-base | blas | blas2, so you should have on of those
installed?
