Ok. When I type in sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter
I get a prompt for a password. I enter my domain password and
get some print about adding the ppa and requeting that I press
enter. I press enter and this is followed by print stating that
the key B04C661B is being requested from hkp sevrer
keyserverubuntu.com followed by connection refused HTTP fetch
error 7: couldn't connect no valid Open GPG found.
I'm not sure what next but I think I need to configure the keyserver.
Tried this via the command line and it failed. Maybe creating a
key.txt file will work but when I search http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/
for E084DAB9 that fails as well. What next?

Subject: Re: [R] Apt-get
Beltrand was also on the mark, suggesting you add Michael Rutter's ppa to your
repository sources.
In both cases (adding the CRAN Ubuntu repositories or Michael Rutter's ppa),
an additional package repository is added to your system's packages. apt then
checks that repository along with the other Ubuntu repositories and exposes the
relevant binary R packages that Michael Rutter is curating.
So, your IS people are correct in saying that the latest version of R available
through the Ubuntu packages is 2.13.1, but there are more up to date R
repositories to use. If you don't have the system rights to add any additional
repositories, you'll need your IS folks to add them for you.
