[R-sig-Debian] Dependency problem bug with r-cran-vr

[Johannes Ranke]

Jaisen,

r-cran-vr is not in the squeeze-cran repository - it is an outdated meta-
package that was fully replaced by its components (r-cran-mass and r-cran-
class are the debian packages of two of those components).

There should be no need for r-cran-vr any more. Try without it.

Kind regards,

Johannes
