[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#631141: r-cran-surveillance version 1.2-1-1 failed to build on Ubuntu Oneiric i386

[Sebastian Carneiro]

Package: r-cran-surveillance
Version: 1.2-1-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)


On Ubuntu Oneiric this package fails to build from source (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/r-cran-surveillance/+bug/755927).

Despite this, I have tested the package in Debian Sid and Wheezy, and it builds ok. Nevertheless, this change would make possible for this package to 
build successfully in Ubuntu.

I have found a build dependency that is causing the problem: r-cran-vr.  I have replaced it with r-cran-mass (in a previous version, the 
latter was replaced by the former, because of missing packages, as stated in changelog entry for version 1.0.3-2) and now everything builds ok in Debian and Ubuntu.

I am attaching a patch with this change in debdiff format.

Please let me know if you find anything wrong, that needs correction, or anything else you would like to comment.

Regards,

Sebastian Carneiro.
