Hi, Maybe you want to try the squeeze-cran repository containing R 2.15 (I kept in order not to cause accidental breakage of add-on packages), as opposed to the squeeze-cran3 repository:
deb http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/ This also contains the recommended packages to go with it.
