uclid: ~ # apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
   r-cran-mass
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

Searching a bit, I discovered aptitude why-not:

aptitude why-not r-cran-mass
i   r-base        Depends   r-recommended (= 2.15.0-1lucid0)
i A r-recommended Depends   r-cran-mass
p A r-cran-mass   Conflicts r-cran-vr
p A r-cran-mass   Provides  r-cran-vr

But now I'm not sure what to do to fix this.  Any ideas?
