Clash between r-cran-vr and r-cran-mass

| newbie with R, I just might not be aware that it isn't working :-)  If there

| R:install.packages().

It may well work, esp for package that do not contain object code. For rest,
it may or may not work. Mostly it will -- but Canonical once made a strategic
decision to _not_ be binary compatible with Debian so if it breaks, blame'em.
