Well, I seem to have zapped everything! Having achieved the breakthrough to R-cran, I then decided to do a full upgrade from R-2.7 to R-2.11, so I first removed all the old stuff. Then I marked r-base 2-11-1 for installation.
The immediate reaction was that it would not be installed, because it depends on r-base-core "which is not going to be installed". Tne, marking r-base-core, I get: r-base-core: Depends: tcl8.5 (>=8.5.0) but it is not installable Depends: tk8.5 (>=8.5.0) but it is not installable Recommends: r-recommended but it is not going to be installed Recommends: r-base-dev but it is not going to be installed And then, searching for "tcl", I find that the latest available version on Debian Lenny is tcl8.4, so tcl8.5 cannot be installed! Well, I could always try installing R-2.10, which I could be happy with. But there is no link whatever to earlier versions of R (pre-2.11) that I can find in the Debian section of CRAN. So, what next? Compile from source from http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/src/base/R-2/R-2.10.1.tar.gz ? And what about supplementary packages? How to check for compatibility with R-2.10?
