Works for me. I just updated r-cran-rcpparmadillo as RcppArmadillo (for which
I am upstream) just got a new version.

Now, I may just be lucky and an 'sudo pbuilder update' away from breakage but
it seems that some handshake been dpkg-maintscript-helper and r-base-core is
broken. I would point the change vector to dpkg; package r-base has not
changed in a while, and has not been touched since the R 3.3.2 release.
Can you debug locally?
