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,


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.

Sorry;  I was using aptitude safe-upgrade.


uclid: ~ # apt-get upgrade

The following packages have been kept back:
  r-cran-mass
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

Searching a bit, I discovered aptitude why-not:

aptitude why-not r-cran-mass
i   r-base        Depends   r-recommended (= 2.15.0-1lucid0)
i A r-recommended Depends   r-cran-mass
p A r-cran-mass   Conflicts r-cran-vr
p A r-cran-mass   Provides  r-cran-vr

But now I'm not sure what to do to fix this.  Any ideas?
