Wow, that was fast, albeit sorry to say this, a tad too fast:

./backport --add-upstream --chroot=base.amd64 --suffix=lscsoft1
--last=1.5.5-1 /tmp/r-cran-xtable_1.5.5-1.dsc
dpkg-source: extracting r-cran-xtable in r-cran-xtable-1.5.5

dpkg-source: info: unpacking r-cran-xtable_1.5.5.orig.tar.gz

dpkg-source: info: applying r-cran-xtable_1.5.5-1.diff.gz

dch warning: new version (1.5.5-1~lscsoft1) is less than

the current version number (1.5.5-1).

Running pdebuild --buildresult .. --pbuilder cowbuilder --debbuildopts
-d -nc -v1.5.5-1 -sa -- --basepath /var/cache/pbuilder/base.amd64.cow


W: /root/.pbuilderrc does not exist

  -> using cowbuilder as pbuilder

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: cdbs r-base-dev

W: Unmet build-dependency in source

dpkg-buildpackage: cannot combine -nc and -S



Usage: dpkg-buildpackage [<options> ...]
[..]

I'll try also to find the place where and how to fix this.

Cheers
