[R-sig-Debian] Conflict between octave3.0-headers and r-base-dev

[Gad Abraham]

Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu Hardy i386, and the R 2.7.1 Ubuntu packages from CRAN.

The CRAN r-base-dev package depends on refblas3-dev or atlas3-base-dev, 
but octave3.0-headers depends on libblas-dev. The two blas packages seem 
to conflict, so r-base-dev and octave3.0-headers can't be installed 
together.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks,
Gad
