That is an entirely different topic which has been discussed here numerous times and which has nothing to do with Ted's problem of failing to properly upgrade R itself. I answered that a few times here as well as in other places, see eg http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2170043/r-apt-get-install-r-cran-foo-vs-install-packagesfoo stackoverflow can be useful as it allows for editing, annotations and follow-up and relatively easy search (which let me find this quickly within the 'R' space using a query "[r] install.packages apt" where the [r] search within posts tagged 'R'. -- Regards, Dirk _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Debian mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian
