Dirk,
So on Ubuntu, uninstall r-cran-robustbase and re-install robustbase
from CRAN
sources.  And file a bug report with Ubuntu.

That's the first thing I did: tried to install using
install.packages("robustbase"), which downloads the source and tries to
compile. But the gcc step fails:
gcc -std=gnu99 -shared -o robustbase.so R-rng4ftn.o init.o lmrob.o mc.o
qn_sn.o rf-common.o rffastmcd.o rfltsreg.o wgt_himed.o -L/usr/lib/R/lib
-lRlapack -lblas -L/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2 -lgfortran -lm
-L/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2 -lgfortran -lm -L/usr/lib/R/lib -lR
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lRlapack
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Also, when you say "fill a bug with Ubuntu", is there an r-sig-ubuntu or
the Launchpad for general bug reports in Ubuntu?

Thanks

Agus

Scratch Debian here. It works there:

R> library(robustbase);cat("Hi\n")
Hi

e...@ron:~>

It looks like Ubuntu failed to rebuild the package. The Rlapack.so vs
lapack.so is an old one from the Atlas 3.6 / gfortran transition well over a
year ago and had affected other package.

So on Ubuntu, uninstall r-cran-robustbase and re-install robustbase from CRAN
sources.  And file a bug report with Ubuntu.
