[R-sig-Debian] libreadline problem

Hello,

Recently updated Ubuntu to 10.04, I have installed the r-base and
r-base-dev packages from CRAN with 

sudo apt-get install r-base

But now when I want to start R I get the following error:

gpetris at definetti:~$ R
/usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R: symbol lookup
error: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC

Any clue??? Has anybody seen that before? I have tried to reinstall the
readline libraries, both as a ubuntu package and from sources, but the
error did not go away....

Thanks in advance,
Giovanni
