Bug#788283: jessie-pu: package r-cran-rcurl/1.95-4.3-1+deb8u1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

Dear Stable release team,
the r-cran-rcurl package provides curl functionalities for the R statistical
environment. In Jessie (version 1.95-4.3-1), we built it against
libcurl4-nss-dev, but this creates errors that prevent R users to download and
install other R packages from GitHub (https://bugs.debian.org/786473). I
wouldn't be surprised if there would be other problems not yet reported. In
Unstable and Testing, we solved this in version 1.95-4.3-2 by building the
package against libcurl4-openssl-dev. In the following proposed update
(1.95-4.3-1+deb8u1), we do the same, but the package was built against Jessie.
