Dirk Just to complete this thread: - If you are using a CRAN mirror to install R 3.5, there was an error in the configuration file that has been fixed. It should work after the next CRAN sync. This should solve Syed's original problem. - To confirm Robin's post, regardless of which repository you use to install R 3.5, RRutter PPA or CRAN, you need to remove/disable the 3.4 repositories. Having both enabled will cause issues. Michael ___ R-SIG-Debian mailing list R-SIG-Debian@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian
