[R-sig-Debian] Does rattle depend on testing's ggobi?

[Robert King]

Thanks Graham,

(and thanks Dirk, I know I'm skating on thin ice as far as getting everything 
to work with my "everything else stable, but every fresh release of R" 
policy)

Rattle installs without ggobi, but then I run into a problem with glade, so 
I'm guessing I want the backport of libglade2-0 1:2.6.0-4

Is that right?

Thanks,
Robert.

Error in rattle() :
  The RGtk2 package did not find libglade installed. Please install it.
