[R] unable to install for r-base dependency?

[Michael Rutter]

Taka,

My appogizes.  I didn't realize that cluster depends on the latest
beta version of R.  I have uploaded the latest version of R-base to
the sevrers, but it will take a few hours for things to sync to all
CRAN servers.

In the meantime, you can download a version of r-cran-cluster here:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/amd64/r-cran-cluster/download

It is a couple of versions old, but it should meet you needs.  To
install, change to the directory where the file is located and type

sudo dpkg -i r-cran-cluster_1.11.7-1_amd64.deb

If you have any questions, please do not be hesitant to ask.

Michael Rutter

The maintainer of the amd64 packages (Michael Rutter, CCd) might have built the recently released 1.11.11 version with the "beta" R 2.7.1~20080614, but failed to provide the corresponding r-base* packages.
