[R-sig-Debian] Problems with r-cran-rcurl in Trusty and Vivid. (Re: Install R on Ubuntu with libcurl support)

[Charles Plessy]

Hello everybody,

by the way, speaking about the r-cran-rcurl package in Ubuntu, the versions in
trusty and vivid are linked by error to the "NSS" flavour of libcurl3 instead
of the "OpenSSL flavour", which cause at least problems when using the CRAN
devtools package.  A bit more details are available in the Debian bug tracking
system (https://bugs.debian.org/786473).  I am not sure if the Ubuntu packages
can be easily corrected, but if there is an interest, please let me know and I
will try.

Have a nice day,

Charles
