Is this the proper place to report a bug ?

[Ottorino-Luca Pantani]

Dear ESS users,
this morning, after a partial upgrade of Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS,
ESS has disappeared.
Actually the system warned me that the previous ESS (5.3.1) would have
been removed.
I'm back in business, since I installed it again by downloading and
untarring the file.

The problem is that when I tried to install ESS through

sudo apt-get install ess

I received the following message (sorry; it's in italian)

> I seguenti pacchetti hanno dipendenze non soddisfatte:
>   ess: Dipende: dpkg (>= 1.15.4) ma 1.14.16.6ubuntu4 sta per essere
> installato oppure
>                 install-info ma non è installabile
> E: Pacchetto non integro

with an esortation to report the bug.

Is this the proper place to do this ?
If not, where should I report ?

Thanks

Ottorino,

This is actually my fault since I build the CRAN ESS package for  
Ubuntu. Somebody else reported to me that the package does not  
install. I don't have the time to correct the situation for now, so I  
pulled the package off CRAN. Give some time for the mirrors to update,  
run "apt-get update" and the system should not bother you with ESS.

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Ottorino-Luca:

My Italian stinks!  But, it seems like there is a dependency on dpkg!?!
Please report this bug to Ubuntu.  If you want to install ESS the old
fashioned way, then see http://ess.r-project.org/  Any bugs you
encounter then, please report here.

Thanks,

Rodney

No problem at all, Vincent.
As i said, I went back to the old untarring procedure. Only five minutes.

So, as far as I understand, there's no need to report the bug to Ubuntu,
right ?

No, especially since it's not their fault at all. You get the new ess  
from your including of the CRAN repositories in your /etc/apt/sources  
file.
