[vox-tech] troubleshooting Ubuntu Tahr upgrade

[Carl Boettiger]

Hi list,

I've just upgraded my Ubuntu system to 14.04 / Tahr (thanks Alex for the
pointer earlier). I now find that when I launch the "R" software
environment, I immediately get a segmentation fault with no further warning
or error message.

I tried removing the relevant base package, which seemed to successfully
remove R entirely from my system:

    sudo aptitude remove --purge r-base-core

I then simply reinstalled r-base-core, but same error persists.

my sources.list shows:

    deb http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/ubuntu trusty/
    deb-src http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/ubuntu trusty/

I've never encountered this problem in an upgrade before.  Any suggestions
on how I should troubleshoot this one?  Many thanks!

- Carl
