[R-sig-Debian] problems with Rcmdr on R-2.10.0 with Karmic Koala

[Michael Rutter]

Erin,

I don't have a machine running Karmic yet (I have learned never to 
update a linux distribution in the middle of the semester), so I can't 
test this easily.  At what point are you getting the MASS error?

Also, are you using the ubuntu packages on CRAN or the ones that come 
with Karmic in universe?
