r-base has been built. It was waiting on rpy on hppa, which has also been built, but is only at a 7-day count. So we should be fine in a few days. I re-set the pending tag as the problem is "fixed" in the sense that the packages in unstable simply need to migrate down, building a new r-cran-rodbc wouldn't really help.
