Hi Kouros,

I can not tell you why building rpy on amd64 did not work in your case.
Anyway, I have reincluded rpy into the list of supported packages for
the factory fresh backport of R 2.11.1 to lenny. The packages should
arrive at CRAN tomorrow.

Hi Johannes.

I hope that you are well (I thought about you two weeks ago as I was
driving  past Cedar Cliff enroute to my parents).

I was able to build the rpy package against lenny-cran thanks to two
suggestions by Dirk (documented in my reply to Dirk).

Thanks for contributing rpy deb packages to CRAN. These will be very
helpful.

Take care, Kouros
