Thanks. Assuming you are not referring to the 'official' package in the distro (as I don't think any readers of this list have anything to do with the formal Canonical builds, and nobody had poked me yet), "ours", ie via the CRAN directory Michael maintains, are still in flux anyway as we have to deal with the repercussions of the r-api-3.5 tag Debian wants. FWIW I got some first binary packages onto a 17.10 box. That said, thanks for the heads up. We'll see what comes out of it. My Debian package also still uses curl3, but I noticed that there is a whole formal transition going on -- so 'our' r-base-core package would get rebuilt anyway: https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/curl.html Ditto for r-base-3.5 https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/r-base-3.5.html We'll see how it goes. But thanks for the heads-up!
