Upgrade to 3.6.0-2 and it will be taken care of -- first bullet of second
entry in what follows in relevant. I should have taken care of that earlier.
In any event, this was discussed here or on r-sig-debian very recently.

Thanks Dirk. I did an upgrade and the NOTE went away, so I guess that all is well.

I'm never sure about upgrading with "sudo apt whatever", so I was a bit apprehensive. For the record I did:

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt upgrade r.base

The latter took quite a while; 15 or 20 minutes. There's probably something simpler that I could have done, but when you don't know, you don't know.

There was no indication that I am now getting version 3.6.0-2; any enquires about the version that I can seem to make indicate version 3.6.0; no "-2" in sight. However, as I said above, it seems to have worked.

cheers,

Rolf
