Hi I just upgraded my R from stabel/etch from 2.4.x to 2.6.2 via
sudo apt-get install r-base which worked fine, installing all dependencies From R, as root, I did update.packages() but a number of packages packages failed to install, either for missing gfortran or missing dependencies. Warning messages: 1: In install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, : installation of package 'maptools' had non-zero exit status 2: In install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, : installation of package 'mvtnorm' had non-zero exit status 3: In install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, : installation of package 'lmtest' had non-zero exit status 4: In install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, : installation of package 'multcomp' had non-zero exit status 5: In install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, : installation of package 'cluster' had non-zero exit status 6: In install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, : installation of package 'KernSmooth' had non-zero exit status 7: In install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, : installation of package 'mgcv' had non-zero exit status ... OK, I installed r-base-dev to get gfortran and other dependencies, then tried update.packages() again.
