The problem is that the sources.list line is seen as having a syntax error when there is no entry after "quantal" (e.g. main, or universe, etc.) on the line. So it doesn't matter which repository name I put in it. I have tried several (including the one you suggest) already. Here is the offending line from my /etc/apt/sources.list file deb http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ quantal
Chris, This (your) version has incorrect syntax: deb http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ quantal This works: deb http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ quantal/ ^ You need a trailing "/", as per the instructions on CRAN.
