Hi list,


I've just upgraded my Ubuntu system to 14.04 / Trusty Tahr. I now find that
when I launch the "R" software environment, I immediately get a
segmentation fault with no further warning or error message.

I tried removing the relevant base package, which seemed to successfully
remove R entirely from my system:

    sudo aptitude remove --purge r-base-core

I then simply reinstalled r-base-core, but same error persists.

my sources.list shows:

    deb http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/ubuntu trusty/
    deb-src http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/ubuntu trusty/



I then simply downloaded the Debian wheezy .deb for R 3.1.0 instead and
installed that, which worked just fine.  Just wondering if anyone else has
encountered this problem on the Ubuntu version and/or if I should report
this as a bug, and to whom.  (My apologies, the Debian package information
for the ubuntu .deb file isn't particularly clear on to whom I should
report bugs).

Cheers,

Carl
