Thanks for point this out.  It appears that I had an incorrect entry in 
one configuration file.  I have fixed that and that the corrected files 
should be on CRAN in the next 12 hours.

You can always use the RRutterr3.5 PPA 
(https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/rrutter3.5).  Has the 
same packages, and with fewer configuration files for me to have incorrect.
