Spot on. What happens is that a) the Debian package system updated GSL via libgsl* to the gsl-2.* b) the R package manager knows nothing about it which why the latter couldn't tell Rolf; R's gsl package just fails to load. In a fully integrated system a) can trigger b) and smoothly update the _R_ package gsl as a consequense of the _Debian_ library gsl changing. (That's how Debian works internally.) Here our coupling is looser. The only remedy, sadly, is a bit of "been there, done there" which is how Kirill spotted what to do.
