Good morning. First, thanks for your help Michael. I typed what you suggest me:

kagamin@kagamin-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get -f install
[sudo] password for kagamin:

My Ubuntu is in spanish, by the way, a 32-bit version ('uname -m' returns 
'i686'). Looking to the .deb packages mentioned it appears none is related to R 
or CRAN, and the list is about packages no longer necessary. I did 'sudo 
apt-get 
remove' and tried again. The problem is still there, and it occurs after the 
mirrors-window pop up, even I tried different mirrors, just in case.
The download of the packages is ok, and immediatly appears the "buffer 
overflow" 
message. I tried with the update of the packages 'nlme', 'boot' and 'cluster' 
and the installation of 'agricolae' and 'ggplot2' with the same result: 
'non-zero exit status'.
Another suggestion?

Edin,

One thing to do is to make sure all your packages have installed
correctly.  Run this command:

sudo apt-get -f install

This may correct the problem.  Also, are you running 32 or 64 bit
Ubuntu?  I have not encountered any a buffer overflow issue on any of
my machines, so this may prove difficult to diagnose.  Does the buffer
overflow (when running update.packages()) occur before or after the
window pops up to ask what mirror you want to use?

Michael
