R SIG Debian - Apr 2012 - symbol lookup error

Hi all,

I am on debian testing with pre-packaged R (2.14.1) installed.  I started
getting weird crashes.  Now I have a reproducible example:

# R
R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22)
Copyright (C) 2011 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
ISBN 3-900051-07-0
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
> save(/usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/R/lib/libR.so:
undefined symbol: _pcre_valid_utf8
# 


Right after entering 'save(' I pressed TAB.

Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Andreas

Pressed that 'send' button too early (or googled too late):  Now I saw
that this is already reported
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=667442)

Sorry for the noise.
