The thing is that R(package) is meant to provide the original
versioning (which allows hyphens and stuff), while R-package takes the
adaptation to our versioning system. The problem is that we generally
declare dependencies with R-package instead of R(package), and that's
an issue in cases like this. I think that preserving the original
versioning is a good idea, but we just need to switch to using
R(package) to declare all dependencies, like Python, tex, etc.,
already do.
After all there are no problem on our side.
The bug is in the upstream package metadata that wrongly replaced the dash by
the dot.
That also says something about this version scheme (it is confusing), in
particular because it is not uniform. :-)
