This was an issue with a bunch of packages when R moved to the 2.14 
series.  A number of packages had to be rebuilt to fix the NAMESPACE issue.

So this is an issue with your r-cran-ggplot2 package.  The problem is I 
am not sure where you are getting the package from.  ggplot2 is not on 
the CRAN Ubuntu pages and my cran2deb4ubutu project does not support 
lucid.  Where are you downloading the r-cran-ggplot2 package from?
