[R-sig-Debian] rkward_0.6.5-1~stretchcran.0_amd64.deb missing

[Johannes Ranke]

Hi Griera,

The version number of the backport is considered lower than the version number 
in the official repository. You could use

  apt-get install -t stretch-cran34 rkward

to get it anyways in this case. The version in the official Debian stretch 
repository has not been rebuilt using R 3.4.0, which is likely the reason if 
it did not work at your end.

Upcoming R 3.4.2 in Debian will, so it seems, not be co-installable with 
packages that it breaks any more[1]. Then, using -t should not be needed any 
more in such a case, as far as I understand (not very far).

Cheers,

Johannes
