There are some gotchas buried in the Depends: line for
R-base-core, which all the other R-base* packages depend
upon. It says it depends on lapack or atlas but installing
libatlas-base-dev does not make a /usr/lib/liblapack.so so
sequence
aptitude install libatlas-base-dev
aptitude install r-base-dev
(on a freshly installed Ubuntu) results in Frank's problem
(fire up R and install.packages("quantreg")
fails because the linker cannot resolve -llapack.
Purging atlas package and reinstalling r-base-dev fixes
things so the desired /usr/lib/lliblapack.so is used.
