First, thanks for working on this. I enabled extras devel and saw two entries: r-base and r-core-base. I was able to install r-core-base but r-base will not install whether I use the gui or apt-get. It says there are unmet dependencies (the R base libraries - the ones that are recommended are listed as broken - r-cran-boot, r-cran-cluster, etc. - 12 packages althogether). I can start R in xterm but library() shows there are no packages installed. R needs this basic packages to function.

Is there a way to fix this? It would be great to be able to run R natively on the N900 (rather than using Debian or ssh'ing to another computer.
