Debian install : libf77blas.so missing

I tried installing R on my system (Debian Linux 2.2.17, i386).
I find that libf77blas.so  is missing. Can someone tell me where
and how I can find this? A search in debian.org didnt turn up anything.
Anyway help will be greatly appreciated.

$ locate libf77blas.so
/usr/lib/libf77blas.so
/usr/lib/libf77blas.so.2
/usr/lib/libf77blas.so.2.3
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/libf77blas.so.2.3
atlas2: /usr/lib/libf77blas.so.2.3

So it is in the atlas2 package.  If you were installing the Debian
package for r-base the installing application should have required the
atlas2 package.  Debian packages for the latest versions of R are
available on the CRAN archives in the bin/linux/debian directory.
