That appears to be a different set of packages. It is comprised entirely of
packages that the meta package "r-recommended" depends upon. [ The R 'engine'
is provided by package "r-base-core" which can run on its own, the wider
package "r-base" also depends on "r-recommended" bringing these in. It is a
set of packages commonly used with R and curatedby upstream, that is by the
upstream R Core team. ]  These packages are all maintained by me, and they
build fine under i386 etc.  So no issue there as far as I can tell.

Cheers, Dirk
