Thank you for showing me this point! I was not aware of it and this will
surely facilitate further update.
Nevertheless, my wish I actually to to update (the GUI I use, Rkward,
breaks with R 2.8), so my actual question was why the packages
r-doc-info and others (listed above) are suggested even if R 2.8 can't
be installed, and wheter making this partial update (packages but not R)
will not cause problems (packages build on nuwer version, docs for 2.8
runing on 2.7...)
What do you think?

Matthieu,
Have you enabled backports in Ubuntu 8.04? As per the ubuntu page on
CRAN:
Installation and compilation of R or some its packages may require
Ubuntu packages from the "backports" repositories. In particular, this
is the case for Tcl/Tk 8.5 on Gutsy and Hardy. Therefore, it is
suggested to activate the backports repositories with an entry like
deb http://<my.favorite.ubuntu.mirror>/ hardy-backports main
restricted universe
in your /etc/apt/sources.list file. See
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors for the list of Ubuntu
mirrors.
This should solve the problem,
Michael

Hello
I'm on Ubuntu 8.04 but I added in my source list some local mirror so
I have possibility to upgrade to R 2.8. However, it seems that there
is a dependency problem, (should install some liblapack libraries).
This is not the problem, I can keep R 2.7.
However, even if I'm not able to install R 2.8, the other packages:
-r-base-html
-r-base-doc
-r-doc-info
-r-doc-html
-r-doc-pdf
-some packages: kernsmooth, mgcv,
are still suggested to be installed. Will that not create some
conflict with package builded on R 2.8? Won't I have documentation
for R 2.8 running on R 2.7?
Thanks!
Matthieu
