Package: r-cran-rcmdr
Version: 1.8-4-1
Severity: important
In Wheezy, Rcmdr package (r-cran-rcmdr) claims as dependencies some CRAN
packages that are not in Wheezy: sem, leaps, e1071, aplpack.
Test: In a R terminal, execute:
library("Rcmdr")
A error window appears what notify "Missing the following packages what Rcmdr
needs: sem, leaps, e1071, aplpack"
If you select "No install", Rcmdr runs but I have not thoroughly tested if
everything works correctly.
The Rcmdr menu entry doesn't work: nothing appears. If you manually run in a
terminal the "Exec" line of the '/usr/share/applications/Rcmdr.desktop' file,
the above mentioned (a error window appears what notify about missing packages)
occurs.
The system is a Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy, updated as of today.
Thanks!

No, as suggestions (in the R sense). The Depends: (in the Debian and R) sense
are all fulfillable -- it wouldn't work any other way.

Right. That is the compromise John Fox and I have: he 'suggests' these, the
package runs and you can locally install these non-essential packages
offering optional features.
The alternative would be to throw Rcmdr out of Debian as these packages are
generally not available (we do have r-cran-e1071, but not the others).

This isn't really a bug report but rather a misunderstanding / misalignment
of expectations. Feel free to come to the r-sig-debian list to discuss. But
'no package in Debian, no Depends...'.
