OK, thanks both. I'll try that. I suspect (very strongly) that it comes from the fact that I did not replace the cran mirror line by an actulal cran mirror URLs... I will give a look at all my backports this weekend and do a little cleaning too!

Note that in the line deb http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian lenny-cran/ you need to substitude <favorite-cran-mirror> by one of the mirror URLs listed in http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html Kind regards, Johannes ######################################### Am Montag, 19.
