[R-sig-Debian] amd64 packages for ubuntu hardy version mismatch?

[Steve Kembel]

Hi,

Trying to do a fresh install of R 2.7.2 packages on an AMD64 server  
running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and have run into some problems - version of  
r-base-core for AMD64 appears to not match version of other packages  
including r-base and r-recommended and so install fails. The deb  
packages for r-base-core_2.7.2-1hardy1_amd64 don't appear to have been  
built yet. Guessing this is an AMD64 issue since the  
2.7.2-1hardy1_i386 packages seem to be present on the repository.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,
Steve

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.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   r-base: Depends: r-base-core (>= 2.7.2-1hardy1) but 2.7.2-1hardy0  
is to be installed
           Depends: r-recommended (= 2.7.2-1hardy1) but it is not  
going to be installed
