Doug,
I am not quite sure is this answers your question, but...
If you look at the 'build-r-base.sh' script that Vincent Goulet wrote to
build the Ubunutu packages
(https://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/svn/R/cran-ubuntu/build-r-base.sh), the
following was added:
# Change any ~ in the name of the build directory for a - to avoid a
# bug in texi2dvi.
if [ -d r-base-*~* ]
then
dir=`ls -d r-base-*~*`
mv $dir `echo $dir | sed y/~/-/`
fi
Our other option was to ask a large man in a nice suit to see if he
could convince Dirk that putting tildes in the titles of his R beta
packages was a bad idea.
This has been reported, and it claims to have been fixed.

The tilde character in the input, which should produce a non-breaking
space, is now being rendered as a tilde. Does anyone know where I
could begin exploring for explanations and/or workarounds?
