Thanks, but I've already tried that. I just found a very brief blog
post[1] indicating that there were incompatibilities between packages
that depend on the most recent version of Matrix and versions of R <
2.13. I've updated to R.13 from the unstable repositories and now all
appears to work again.

As long as R 2.13 makes it into testing before some new conflict arises
on my now mixed system!

Cheers,

Tyler
