[FFe] Please sync r-cran-rjags 3.3-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Matthias Klose]

Description:
Please sync r-cran-rjags 3.3-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
3.3-1 is needed to fix FTBFS. Current r-cran-rjags is too old to build with the current jags. Tested the build and it builds. Gets the archive in better sync.

Changelog entries since current oneiric version 2.2.0-4-1:

r-cran-rjags (3.3-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.

I think this is due to incompatibility between the JAGS version installed and the version on which rjags depends.

This was discussion on r-sig-debian: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-debian/2011-April/001582.html

Here is a workaround:
1. add Michael Rutter's repository:
add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter
2. update and install jags and rjags
apt-get update
apt-get install jags r-cran-rjags

Setting to New for FFe processing.
