Dear Michael, First of all, thank you very much for your work.
Some weeks ago I upgraded the Ubuntu system of my laptop from 9.10 (Karmic) to 10.4 (Lucid), in which I had R 2.11.0, and everything went ok with R 2.11.0. Yesterday, I did the same with the PC of my office, but when I tried to update the packages with: > update.packages(checkBuilt=T) I got the following error (I apologize because the messages are in Spanish): > update.packages(checkBuilt=T) --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done Aviso: unable to access index for repository http://cran.uk.r-project.org/src/contrib Mensajes de aviso perdidos In open.connection(con, "r") : no fue posible conectarse a 'cran.r-project.org' en el puerto 80. what is really strange for me, because when I try 'apt-get update' from the system console everything works fine (I didn't changed the proxy set up after the upgrade). I would like to know if this problem is due to the fact of the uploading process of the new release 2.11.1 or if the problem is on my side. By the way, this morning I upgraded to the new release 2.11.1 and I still have the same error message (I have tried with several mirrors).
