This was an issue with a bunch of packages when R moved to the 2.14
series. A number of packages had to be rebuilt to fix the NAMESPACE issue.
So this is an issue with your r-cran-ggplot2 package. The problem is I
am not sure where you are getting the package from. ggplot2 is not on
the CRAN Ubuntu pages and my cran2deb4ubutu project does not support
lucid. Where are you downloading the r-cran-ggplot2 package from?
