Package: r-base-core
Version: 2.15.2-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
elmerfem is FTBFS on arm* again because of recent changes in r-base.
After small investigation [0] I found that elmerfem:
* was built successfully with r-base-core: 2.15.1-4, 2.15.1-5
* was FTBFS with r-base-core: 2.15.1-2, 2.15.3~20130327-1, 2.15.3-1
After reading change log [1] and bug report #679180 I think that this change
in r-base 2.15.2-1 caused a regression:
* src/library/tools/R/install.R: Pass "perl = TRUE" parameter to sub()
function when defining SHLIB_* macros to work-around an erroneus
string replacement which causes build failures on arm* architectures
but make the change conditonal on actually being on arm*.
Could you fix it?

elmerfem 6.1.0.svn.5396.dfsg2-2 was prepared for Wheezy and this FTBFS is only
one stopper now.
Best regards,
