Package: r-cran-foreign
Version: 0.8.15-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After upgrading r-base to 2.4, package foreign broke. Apparently needs
recompilation. This is what happens in R:

> library(foreign)
Fehler in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : 
        kann shared library '/usr/lib/R/library/foreign/libs/foreign.so' nicht 
laden:
 /usr/lib/R/library/foreign/libs/foreign.so: undefined symbol: Rf_allocString
Fehler: Laden von Paket/Namensraum für 'foreign' fehlgeschlagen

Thanks and best regards,
Bernd

Uh-oh. It appears that I never uploaded this revision:

foreign (0.8.17-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release for the upcoming R 2.4.0 release, built using 
    the R 2.4.0 releases candidate
  * debian/control: Upgraded Build-Depends: to 'r-base-dev (>> 2.3.1)' 
    and Depends: to 'r-base-core (>> 2.3.1)' accordingly

  * debian/rules: Simplified to cdbs-based one-liner sourcing r-cran.mk 
    (but overriding the default library location as this package is part
     of the r-recommended bundle which install into /usr/lib/R/library)

  * debian/overrides: Added to silence lintian on two minor issues

It is now in incoming and will hit the mirrors later today.  

I am sorry for the inconvenience, and for breaking your system
temporarily.  Among my dozens of R packages, this upload slipped.  I will
double-check all upload files to make sure that hasn't happened with another
package. 

Thanks for the bug report.

Greetings from Chicago,  Dirk
