I'd like to update MASS from version 7.2-11 to version 7-2.19. I am
running R 2.0.1 on ubuntu, that installs MASS with the package r-cran-vr.
First, MASS is part of VR, so it is VR you update.
Second, please do *READ THE HELP PAGE*. The first argument of
update.packages() is not a package name.
Third, check the CRAN information, here at
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/VR.html
and note
Depends: R (>= 2.1.0), graphics, stats
^^^^^
and no VR update is currently available for your version of R.
Your R is seriously only of date. You might want to wait a week and then
install 2.2.0.
I have tried doing update.packages(), and I get a list of packages that
I could update, but none is called MASS.
I have tried the following too, right after launching emacs, but to no
avail.

I have the package installed in /usr/lib/R/library/MASS. I can do
<QUOTE>
library(MASS)
search()
[1] ".GlobalEnv" "package:MASS" "package:methods"
[4] "package:stats" "package:graphics" "package:grDevices"
[7] "package:utils" "package:datasets" "Autoloads"
[10] "package:base"
</QUOTE>
How could I update the package?
Thanks,
