I updated R to R 2.15.0 via apt-get and received the message that

I recently tried apt-get update/ apt-get safe-upgrade and received the

r-cran-mass-7.3.16-1lucid0
I currently have MASS 7.3-7 installed
How can I figure out what is wrong and correct it?
thx,
What repository are you using for R: default Ubunut, CRAN, or the PPA?
Note, a new version has been released (7.3-18) and I just uploaded it
(available soon on PPA, next 12-24 hours on CRAN). That may fix the
issue.

I'm using CRAN. In /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://probability.ca/cran/bin/linux/ubuntu lucid/
I guess what I'm asking is, first how can I tell *why* MASS is being
blocked; then maybe I can figure out how to fix it.
The issue may be the use of the the "safe-upgrade" option. The first
thing is that I don't think apt-get has a "safe-upgrade" option. Are
you using aptitude or the "dist-upgrade" option in apt-get? I think you
can solve the problem by just using "apt-get upgrade". I don't know why
it is blocking MASS, but something in the "safe/dist-upgrade" procedure
is holding it back.
Hope this helps,
Michael
