Huh ? Ubuntu i386 packages install with no problem. However, x86_64 is more problematic : these packages are not built in the CRAN repositories. IIRC, r-base is an "all architectures" packages (mostly a meta-package), while r-base-core and r-recommended are binaries. Therefore, r-base is indeed available, while r-base-core and r-recommended are not. Hence the jam... I have been able to rebuild x86-64 packages on Ubuntu Gutsy starting from the Debian sources ; a cursory check lets me think that these builds are correct. Let me know if you want them (no guarantees : caveat emptor). I plan to check them extensively and propose them to the SIG-Debian mailing list, but this will have to wait...
