Something is out of whack with openjdk-8-jdk and R. I need to talk to upstream, and that may take a moment.
It all works if only one runs 'R CMD javareconf' but I don't see a way to shoehorn that in as root. Oh well. The package has no reverse dependencies. So worst case we just remove it. Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org
