Good to know you have it fixed. | thanks so much! i assume moving to r-sig-debian is now obsolete. | | ps, @dirk: adding michael rutters ppa also helped, but the packages get | installed to R_LIBS_SITE, and not (as i am used to) to R_LIBS-USER. | but this was only a minor inconvinience (i like to keep the packages in one | directory). No, it is even more fine grained: - r-cran-* packages always install in /usr/lib/R/site-library - (One exception: Base R and recommended packages go to /usr/lib/R/library ) - local "from source" installation goes by default to /usr/local/lib/R/site-library and the third part is much better for multi-user setting. See the comments in the file /etc/R/Renviron.site if you want to change this. This has been our default since about 2003 or 2004 when Kurt Hornik and Fritz Leisch convinced me of that approach in a Vienna bar. It is better. And this discussion too belonged on r-sig-debian so let's stop here.
