I noticed that too and spoke with Vincent and Michael -- this should get
sorted out 'soon'. It is due to the non-binary packages being ready
from the
i386 build but being dependent on the corresponding amd64 packages which are
not there yet.
As a one-off alternative, you could preview the packages we prepared for the
upcoming Ubuntu 9.10 release. See this page
https://launchpad.net/~revor/+archive/ppa
for details and the sources.list entry. These contain some REvolution R
enhancements. I run those on amd64 at work, and they do install and run just
fine :)
Lastly, r-sig-debian is a better list for this. I just caught your post by
chance.
