[R-sig-Debian] building rpy against lenny-cran

[Johannes Ranke]

Hi Kouros,

I can not tell you why building rpy on amd64 did not work in your case. 
Anyway, I have reincluded rpy into the list of supported packages for 
the factory fresh backport of R 2.11.1 to lenny. The packages should arrive at 
CRAN tomorrow.

Kind regards,

Johannes
