I means that you did not install any previous version of the R framework for Leopard so there is nothing to forget. If you want to make 100% sure that there are no other receipts, check your list of packages with something like pkgutil --pkgs | grep -i r-project > In the past I used to remove R-Framework.pkg from Library/Receipts but I am > not sure that this will work this time. > OS X 10.5 and higher no longer use Library/Receipts for native (flat) packages - but they might for legacy packages so if your package is way old, check there. However, the currently distributed R is Leopard build and a flat package, so it should be irrelevant given the message above.
