Test case: - Install R-base from the core/release repo then try using Rscript, e.g.: $ Rscript /usr/lib{64,}/R/library/grid/doc/plotexample.R it'll fail with: Rscript execution error: No such file or directory - Install the R-base-2.13.0-1.1.mga1 package from the core/updates_testing, then try again, the "Rscript execution error: No such file or directory" error shouldn't happen now Proposed Advisory text: ======================================== Due to a packaging bug in the R-base package, using Rscript would fail if the user doesn't manually set the RHOME environment variable. This update fixes this issue. ========================================
I have the R-base package installed from core updates testing and ran Rscript /usr/lib/R/library/grid/doc/plotexample.R It generated Rplots.pdf in the current directory which is a chart titled "Same as before", as well as a file called splom.RData with compressed data. Assuming this is the correct output, I think the i586 version can now be considered tested, and the package R-base can be moved from core updates Testing to core updates.

On a x86_64 system, same as above
I just realized installing R-base did not install the libRmath libRmath-devel packages. While the devel package is normally manually installed, shouldn't the libRmath package be required by the R-base package? If it should do you have a test that does require it? I can confirm the test works on my system, as it should fail since I currently don't have libRmath installed, and work after installing it.
The R-base package doesn't require lib{64,}Rmath.
It looks like nothing requires libRmath, other than the -devel package.
