Bug Description
Binary package hint: r-cran-foptions
I upgraded to Jaunty and started getting errors when loading the R fOptions library (within R of course),
> library(fOptions)
Rmetrics Package fOptions (270.74) loaded.
Error : package 'fImport' does not have a name space
Error in as.environment(pos) :
no item called "newtable" on the search list
Release information
$ dpkg -l | grep foptions
ii r-cran-foptions 270.74-1 GNU R package for financial engineering -- f
$ lsb_release -d
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
I installed almost all of the R packages and fOptions version 270.74-1 fails to load because of the name space error in fImport. The fImport library is also version 270.74-1.
$ dpkg -l | grep fimport
ii r-cran-fimport 270.74-1
This link suggests the problem is due to the mixing of r-forge and release package versions:

And indeed the versions are out of synch, because r-cran-fbasics is a newer version than the fimport and foptions packages:
$ dpkg -l | grep r-cran-f
ii r-cran-fbasics 280.74-1 GNU R package for financial engineering -- f
ii r-cran-fimport 270.74-1 GNU R package for financial engineering -- f
ii r-cran-foptions 270.74-1 GNU R package for financial engineering -- f
