Hi Ed,

R 2.14.2 just came out, So I'm guessing that most packages are not yet rebuilt for it.

You should still be able to load them as in (from terminal prompt)

wget http://cran.fhcrc.org/src/contrib/ctv_0.7-4.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL ctv_0.7-4.tar.gz

Hi, I am running Debian Sid. I am having
trouble with the R packages.

Executing 'help()' or 'demo()' launches 'most' with no text.
'help.start()' works properly.

When I try to install a package, I get the following problem:

*********************************************************************
install.packages("ctv")
Installing package(s) into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---

Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
   package ‘ctv’ is not available (for R version 2.14.2)
*********************************************************************

The system in question has a direct connection to the internet.
I can browse to the repository and find the ctv package.
The user has read and write permissions on '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library'

I don't know what to do here.  Can someone advise?
