Dear All,
I have a fresh Debian Stretch (now the official Debian stable)
installation on my machine.
Based on what written here
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/#debian-jessie-stable
I added the line
deb https://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/bin/linux/debian stretch-cran34/
to my sources in order to have a backport of R 3.4.
The issue is that I am now experiencing some troubles to install some
packages from cran which did not give me any trouble in the past.
The worst is that all I get is an uninformative segmentation fault
error.
For instance, consider the RJSDMX package
> install.packages("RJSDMX")
Installing package into ?/usr/local/lib/R/site-library?
(as ?lib? is unspecified)

Is anybody else having similar troubles?
I would like to add that I can install other fairly complicated
packages (like tidyverse), so I am really puzzled.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Many thanks
Lorenzo
