I came across this problem moving from the standard jessie package to
the backport:
$ sudo dpkg --configure r-base-core
Setting up r-base-core (3.3.2-1~jessiecran.0) ...
Preserving user changes to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/R
(renamed from /etc/bash_completion.d/R)...
mv: cannot stat ‘/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/R’: No such file or
directory
dpkg: error processing package r-base-core (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
r-base-core
I managed to fix this by manually copying the R completion script
/etc/bash_completion.d/R to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/
I thought I'd best post something about this in case either I haven't
actually fixed it or it means something in the backporting is slightly
wrong with respect to bash completion.
