Scratch Debian here. It works there:
edd at ron:~> echo 'library(robustbase);cat("Hi\n")' | R --silent --no-save
R> library(robustbase);cat("Hi\n")

It looks like Ubuntu failed to rebuild the package. The Rlapack.so vs
lapack.so is an old one from the Atlas 3.6 / gfortran transition well over a
year ago and had affected other package.
So on Ubuntu, uninstall r-cran-robustbase and re-install robustbase from CRAN
sources. And file a bug report with Ubuntu.

| This is really odd,

| > library(robustbase)
| Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :

| The package is where it is suposed to be:
| /usr/lib/R/site-library/robustbase
|
| is this not a problem at compiling?
|
| The problem is that if I try to install the source with
| install.packages("robustbase"), I get:
| gcc -std=gnu99 -shared -o robustbase.so R-rng4ftn.o init.o lmrob.o mc.o
| qn_sn.o rf-common.o rffastmcd.o rfltsreg.o wgt_himed.o -L/usr/lib/R/lib

| /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lRlapack
| collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
|
| Despite the fact that I do have Rlapack:
| ~$ R CMD config LAPACK_LIBS
| -L/usr/lib/R/lib -lRlapack
|
| Am I doing something wrong?
