Hi,

Attempt to install R 2.9.2 on Ubuntu 9.04 results in errors:

$ sudo apt-get install r-base
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  r-base: Depends: r-base-core (>= 2.9.2-2jaunty1) but 2.9.2-2jaunty0 is to be 
installed
          Depends: r-recommended (= 2.9.2-2jaunty1) but it is not going to be 
installed
E: Broken packages

This was on amd64 system. I have tried several mirrors and the same error 
persisted. Inspecting package repos by eye shows r-*-2.9.2-2jaunty1 packages 
for amd64 architecture are missing while they are present for i386.
