[R-sig-Debian] Ubuntu cran2deb PPA

[Mathieu Basille]

To be complete, I found a third package that was unavailable to 
installation through aptitude, although it was listed in the Debian R 
Package Archive: extrafont [1], although the dependencies extrafontdb and 
Rttf2pt1 were available and installed without any problem. See my system 
info in the previous message.

Sincerely,
Mathieu.
