The PPA for latest Ubuntu packages doesn't seem to be in the sources list.
https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter
Aha. OK. Fixed that. That seems to have meant that cran, coda and
spatial have now been updated (by apt-get update). Interestingly, I'm
still getting the comment that coda won't be updated even after that. I
suspect that means that the main cran repository has a version of coda
even more recent than the one in rrutter.
Also see the CRAN page (I've used the probability.ca mirror)
http://probability.ca/cran/bin/linux/ubuntu/
I have and thought I was pretty compliant with that. Only thing I've not
followed is the backports bit.
Many thanks,
C
Best, JN

The specific message is:
"Warning: package 'spatial' in library '/usr/lib/R/library' will not be updated"
and the number of libraries about which that's the complaint is now
increasingly almost
daily so clearly something is wrong.
I'm working on a laptop on which I do the recommended Ubuntu updates daily. I
done a
standard installation of R 2.15.1 using synaptic with:
deb http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/bin/linux/ubuntu precise/
deb-src http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/bin/linux/ubuntu precise/
in /etc/apt/sources.list and I added most of the optional packages that are
packaged at
that source.
I have been updating going into R through "sudo R" in my home directory and
then using
"update.packages(instlib=.libPaths()[1],ask=FALSE)"
However, that gets these complaints about not updating. I get the same message
if I use:
"update.packages(ask=FALSE)"
I get the same if I use "su" rather than sudo and if I update as an ordinary
user and if I
point to a different mirror repository (I have been using Switzerland as
Bristol seemed to
be lagging behind Switzerland a lot).
I was doing to that without a personal library but tried updating as an
ordinary user and
created a personal library as prompted but that still gets the same but that
means that my
.libPaths() is now:
.libPaths()
[1] "/home/chris/R/i686-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.15"
[2] "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"
[3] "/usr/lib/R/site-library"
[4] "/usr/lib/R/library"
I think I've read and understood umpteen questions about the different ways of
updating
libraries on this list. I would like to update to the latest library versions
regularly
(as 2.15.1 for Windoze in a VM box on this machine does fine). Clearly I don't
understand
something and am doing something wrong. Please can someone enlighten me?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
