Which Kubuntu release ?

Which R version ?

What did you change ?

Do you use the (K)Ubuntu repository on CRAN and its mirrors?

You need to give us a bit more to chew on before we can really help :)

FWIW readline.so.4 is really, really ancient -- I don't even have it
installed anymore -- so you may have an old R version hanging around.
