R SIG Debian - Apr 2010 - problems loading blas with R 2.11.0~20100402-1

Hi,

Since upgrading to version 2.11.0~20100402-1, starting R fails with:

/usr/lib64/R/bin/exec/R: error while loading shared libraries: libblas.so.3gf:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is this occurring to others on sid?

I use Debian testing, and that same version works fine there. 

This could be related to the recent Atlas / Blas change in unstable. CCing
Sylvestre just in case. Maybe we take this off-line and compare blas + atlas
package versions?

Sure, this is with:
