Upgrading to R 2.15.2 can't load stats package

Question

Running Ubuntu 12.04. finally upgraded from 2.12 to 2.15.2 today and when I start R I get this error.

Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : 
  unable to load shared object '/usr/lib/R/library/stats/libs/stats.so':
  /usr/lib/liblapack.so.3gf: undefined symbol: ATL_chemv
During startup - Warning message:
package ‘stats’ in options("defaultPackages") was not found

Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix?
