[Bug 426360] Re: r-base stopped outputting error messages

[spaetz]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: r-base
  
  During the last 3 weeks karmic's r-base installation freaked up. I don't
  get any error messages anymore, it seems stderr (which is usually output
  to the console) is redirected somewhere weird. I don't have any personal
  customization configuration. This is quite annoying as debugging is
- impossible. It used to work like a charme
+ impossible. It used to work like a charme in earlier versions.
  
  Reproduce: start "R" and type something nonsensical e.g. "sdfkjsdfjk".
  In older versions you get error messages, but not on the console anymore. It works if called from the cli. e.g.
  
- echo "hhh"|R --vanilla will output the following:
  
+ The problem must be in one of the package supplied config files. If I start R without any site and other init files with
+ 
+ "R --vanilla" I get proper error messages back
  R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24)
- {...}
+ ...
  > hhh
  Error: object 'hhh' not found
- Execution halted
