Well, yes, but I had it on good authority (yours!) that this was ok ;)
r-cran-matrix is not installed on my system, but r-cran-lattice is.
Maybe lattice is looking for the .deb location of Matrix, and I've got
matrix in the cran location? 

The great majority of packages on my system are pulled in as 'depends'
either from the r-cran-* debs or from CRAN, so I'm not entirely
certain what gets installed from the two different repositories. In
general I install with install.packages(), but when that fails due to
external depends (i.e., non-R graphics libraries or whatever) I use
aptitude to sort it out.

So, in short, I'm pretty sure I only have one Matrix library, but
maybe it's in the wrong place?

Thanks,

Tyler
