| I also had trouble installing rjags in 10.04.  I got the same error you

Excellent -- bug in my package as I do 'catch-all' package jags (as opposed
to libjags, libjags-dev, ...) and use packaging default so this got omitted.

Will fix.  Thanks for catching that, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
