R SIG Debian - Oct 2010 - Ubuntu Lucid: no amd64 r-base-core on CRAN

I just tried to install r-base on an AMD64 system but got complaints
from aptitude that r-base is broken. The reason seems to be that there
currently is no AMD64 version of r-base-core on CRAN, only
r-base-core_2.11.1-7lucid0_i386.deb.

I managed to find a mirror that still had version 2.11.1-5lucid0 which
installed without problems.

That may just be mirror syncing issues. I only put -7 into Debian a few days
ago (and it only changes a build-dependency on liblzma so it's really not a
must have upgrade).

And 2.12 will be out next week anyway...
