Dear Stable release team, the r-cran-rcurl package provides curl functionalities for the R statistical environment. In Jessie (version 1.95-4.3-1), we built it against libcurl4-nss-dev, but this creates errors that prevent R users to download and install other R packages from GitHub (https://bugs.debian.org/786473). I wouldn't be surprised if there would be other problems not yet reported. In Unstable and Testing, we solved this in version 1.95-4.3-2 by building the package against libcurl4-openssl-dev. In the following proposed update (1.95-4.3-1+deb8u1), we do the same, but the package was built against Jessie. diff -Nru r-cran-rcurl-1.95-4.3/debian/changelog r-cran-rcurl-1.95-4.3/debian/changelog --- r-cran-rcurl-1.95-4.3/debian/changelog 2014-09-17 20:10:59.000000000 +0900 +++ r-cran-rcurl-1.95-4.3/debian/changelog 2015-06-09 21:54:48.000000000 +0900 @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +r-cran-rcurl (1.95-4.3-1+deb8u1) jessie; urgency=medium + + * Team upload. + * Build-Depend on libcurl4-openssl-dev only (Closes: #786473). + + -- Charles Plessy <ple...@debian.org> Tue, 09 Jun 2015 21:54:38 +0900 + r-cran-rcurl (1.95-4.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream version diff -Nru r-cran-rcurl-1.95-4.3/debian/control r-cran-rcurl-1.95-4.3/debian/control --- r-cran-rcurl-1.95-4.3/debian/control 2014-09-17 19:36:29.000000000 +0900 +++ r-cran-rcurl-1.95-4.3/debian/control 2015-05-31 09:15:18.000000000 +0900 @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ cdbs, r-base-dev, r-cran-bitops, - libcurl4-nss-dev | libcurl-dev + libcurl4-openssl-dev Standards-Version: 3.9.5 Vcs-Browser: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/R/r-cran-rcurl/trunk/ Vcs-Svn: svn://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/R/r-cran-rcurl/trunk/ Have a nice day, Charles -- Charles Plessy Debian Med packaging team Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-med-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
