2009-09-08 16:43:44 spaetz description Binary package hint: r-base During the last 3 weeks karmic's r-base installation freaked up. I don't get any error messages anymore, it seems stderr (which is usually output to the console) is redirected somewhere weird. I don't have any personal customization configuration. This is quite annoying as debugging is impossible. It used to work like a charme Reproduce: start "R" and type something nonsensical e.g. "sdfkjsdfjk". In older versions you get error messages, but on the console anymore. It works if called from the cli. e.g. echo "hhh"|R --vanilla will output the following: R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24) {...} > hhh Error: object 'hhh' not found Execution halted Binary package hint: r-base During the last 3 weeks karmic's r-base installation freaked up.

This is quite annoying as debugging is impossible. It used to work like a charme in earlier versions. Reproduce: start "R" and type something nonsensical e.g. "sdfkjsdfjk". In older versions you get error messages, but not on the console anymore. It works if called from the cli. e.g. The problem must be in one of the package supplied config files. If I start R without any site and other init files with "R --vanilla" I get proper error messages back R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24) ... > hhh Error: object 'hhh' not found
