[R-sig-Geo] rgdal cannot load shared object

[Sebastian P. Luque]

Hello,

I'm on a Debian sid system, and after a an upgrade of packages ('apt-get
upgrade') over the weekend, loading rgdal no longer works:

---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->---
R> library(rgdal)
Loading required package: sp
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : 
  unable to load shared object '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rgdal/libs/rgdal.so':

---<--------------------cut here---------------end--------------------->---

For libgdal libraries the system has:

---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->---
$ apt-show-versions -r -p 'libgdal.+'
libgdal-doc/sid uptodate 1.7.3-5
libgdal1-1.6.0/squeeze uptodate 1.6.3-4+b1
libgdal1-1.7.0/sid uptodate 1.7.3-5
libgdal1-dev/sid uptodate 1.7.3-5
---<--------------------cut here---------------end--------------------->---

I could remove the 1.6.0 version, but some packages still require it.

Does rgdal need to be updated due to new gdal libraries, or is this a
Debian-specific problem?  I posted to the R Debian list yesterday, so
apologies if you read this twice.

Cheers,
