I noticed that the text was off, looked briefly into it and considered it
harmless. I would of course have fixed it had it really failed -- but it
never failed for me, or any of the autobuilder. Recall that we have around
r-cran-* packages many of which got built, re-built, ... during the last few
weeks.
Looking at it again, I see of course that you are right -- there are now two
lines matching R_PAPERSIZE. But despite the bad text that is displayed, at
the substitution seems to work as I have
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> grep PAPER /etc/R/Renviron
## Default printer paper size: first record if user set R_PAPERSIZE
R_PAPERSIZE_USER=${R_PAPERSIZE}
R_PAPERSIZE=${R_PAPERSIZE-'letter'}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> paperconf
letter
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>
which is the right value for me here.
Also note that the original file has
## Default printer paper size: first record if user set R_PAPERSIZE
R_PAPERSIZE_USER=${R_PAPERSIZE}
R_PAPERSIZE=${R_PAPERSIZE-'@R_PAPERSIZE@'}
so it is in R_PAPERSIZE= that we want to substitute the text.
Can you show me some more detail of what happens at your end -- value before,
cut and paste from installation of r-base-core, value afterwars and what
R shows which at my end is oddly enough, wrong, and I do not understand where
it comes from:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> echo 'print(options("papersize"))' | R --slave
$papersize
[1] "a4"
Thanks for the report and your help. I am sure we can get that fixed, but so
far I am a little puzzled.
