It is a fairly bening issue as the tempdir created is only used to compile a test program in. Anyway ... As I understand lenny does have a backport of the bugfix I put into 2.7.1-2. [ The problem has also been addressed upstream as of 2.7.2. ] Also, one wouldn't use r-base-core-ra [ an R variant with an experimental but working just-in-time compiler ] for this Java test as one uses R's own. Hope this clarifies. If anybody wants to fiddle more with this for lenny, go ahead. I consider this closed, and it is all taken care of in unstable.
