The is an R-SIG-Debian which is going to have more people with
knowledge of your particular OS.
Now i'm learning a book of R which needs "MASS" and "DAAG" installed.
So i followed the instructions:
install.packages("MASS")
library("MASS")
MASS works fine.
But that doesn't tell you very much because MASS was part of the R
distribution. So your hope to derive comfort is ill-conceived.
But DAAG doesn't. Anyone who could help would be appreciated a lot !
Below are my error outpus :
install.packages("DAAG")

Is it really true that the interpreter cannot find that function? That
would be pretty unusual and would suggest your copy of R was broken.
What do you get with:
installed.packages()
On my system the list is very long but on yours it should be
considerably shorter.
