For those going to UseR! in Brussels, maybe a short meeting over coffee
to make some notes about the issues. I know I've had troubles before with
rJava over the years, and I won't pretend to be much more than a recipe
follower. However, if it's possible to have a few notes on "where to
look" for diagnostics and fixes, or even explaining what is going wrong,
I'll be happy to write them up and post somewhere. I've been doing such
short how-to items on our oclug.on.ca wiki for other software, and feedback
has been positive.
Best, JN

Hi Dirk,
It was unclear to me to which extent it is a
kernel/security patch vs (r)Java issue.
In any case, this is really problematic for me as it prevents me de
facto from running some key R packages for my daily work.
I'll post again if I see some solution (other than downgrading the
kernel) somewhere.
Meanwhile, any suggestions for a fix is welcome.
Cheers
Lorenzo

Reading the links you providing it also becomes clear that this is not an
issue with rJava, or Debian -- it is Java, interacting with the kernel.
For now, I would suggest following those discussions.
Dirk
