Bug Description

Binary package hint: r-base-core

On 7.10 Tribe 3

installing r-base-core yields at the end

Setting up r-base-core (2.5.1-1) ...
paperconf: cannot get paper size from /etc/papersize: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing r-base-core (--configure):
I solved this by creating by hand the directory. I put in it two files I found in /etc
This is the situation now:
/etc/papersize$ ls -l
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3 2007-07-20 01:41 papersize.dpkg-inst
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3 2007-07-20 01:42 papersize.ucf-dist

I wonder if this problem impacts other packages? Both files contain "letter" as a paper size.
