well, I had the site and page and I had added the relevant backport but it
didn't work and i keep installing R 2.7 . Don't know why; i probably missed
something.

May be you should add in your mail the file :
/etc/apt/sources.list (I suppose there might be a typo, as IT addresses are
long and booring, and AFAIK, correcting a typo one made is **very** difficult).
FYI binary installs are (/were) meant to make users life(s) easier, and are
(/should be) therefore easier and faster: on the long term, if you go beyond
"it does not work" (which makes very mysterious to find what is missing) , this
will (might) come true...

Hi Denis,
Here it is. I have add some issues with my source list since revently. I think
after trying the instalation though. I have therefore deleted some souce list
that seemed duplicates to me. There are still some duplicates that I cannot
install. The file looks worse than on Synaptic. It looks like I have a lot more
in the file than actually appear on Synaptic.
Clearly I should have tried to go beyong the "it does not work..." but I gave
it a fair try (you remember) and I had to get my work back on track. Also, I
learned by installing the way you told me, that is, installing R where I want
so I may now install different versions of R.
