Aha ! I *had* problems previously with Sage's libtinfo*, which led bash to spill a lot of warnings about "missing version information"). The conclusion of this thread <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/sage-support/libtinfo/sage-support/uNcv2g0QSb4/GSSrS2K_DgAJ> in sage-support was that it was a collision between Sage's and system's (Debian testing on amd64) libraries.
I found that moving local/lib/libtinfo* out of the way allowed me to run Sage without those pesky warnings. Nathaan, could you try to move these libraries out of the way and try to install R ?
