rkward_0.6.5-1~stretchcran.0_amd64.deb missing

Hi:

I have tried to upgrade from version 3.4.0 to 3.4.1 in a Debian Stretch following the instructions of the web page:

  https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/

but after updating, Rkward does not work (Error in RK: Graphics API version mismatch). Analyzing the problem, I notice that the Rkward package is not available in the amd64 version (yes in the i386 version), for example here:

  https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/stretch-cran34/

It is not necessary? Can anyone help me on how can I solve the
problem that Rkward does not work?

Thanks a lot. Griera

Thanks for reporting. The build for amd64 failed, because somehow apt-get 
source does not see the source package of rkward in the repository any more.

I had to adapt my build script

  https://cgit.jrwb.de/r-backports/commit/?id=56157ad9495765d9

The amd64 deb is on its way to CRAN, I think it should be there within a day 
or so. If impatient, use

  deb http://chem.uft.uni-bremen.de/ranke/r-cran jessie-cran34/
  
for the moment.

Cheers,

Hello Johannes:

I'm sorry, but I still have the same problem with Rkward. 

After running apt-get update, I still can not find the amd64 version of the Rkward package. I have tried it with the following sources:

    deb http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian stretch-cran34/ 
    deb http://chem.uft.uni-bremen.de/ranke/r-cran stretch-cran34/
    deb http://chem.uft.uni-bremen.de/ranke/r-cran jessie-cran34/  (the
    source you tell me in the answer)

On the other hand, the package does not seem to be in https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/stretch-cran34/. I can see a new Rkward package for the i386 architecture dated September 20, but I do not see the version for the amd64 architecture.

Thank you very much for your help. 

Best regards. Griera.

Hello Griera,

sorry, I forgot an "svn add", so the package got lost on the way.

It is on chem now, and will migrate to CRAN shortly.

Hi Johannes:

Thank you very much. Rkward now works. The only drawback is that I had to install it "by hand":

    sudo dpkg -i rkward_0.6.5-1~stretchcran.0_amd64.deb rkward-data_0.6.5-1~stretchcran.0_all.deb

By default, apt-get installed the Debian repository version (rkward 0.6.5-1+b1 0.6.5-1+b1).

Thanks for your contributions to the R-Debian project!

Regards. Griera.

Hi Griera,

The version number of the backport is considered lower than the version number 
in the official repository. You could use

  apt-get install -t stretch-cran34 rkward

to get it anyways in this case. The version in the official Debian stretch 
repository has not been rebuilt using R 3.4.0, which is likely the reason if 
it did not work at your end.

Upcoming R 3.4.2 in Debian will, so it seems, not be co-installable with 
packages that it breaks any more[1]. Then, using -t should not be needed any 
more in such a case, as far as I understand (not very far).

Cheers,

Johannes

I thank you also for the explanations.

Yes, this is much better than downloading the packages and installing them by hand. Thanks for this suggestion.
