Mat,
RKward has a problem with R 2.8.0. I believe the problem has been
fixed, but it hasn't been added to the code base. Therefore the
packages haven't been updated yet. (I would contact the dev team and
give them a little nudge if you really like RKward)
I love it! Unfortunately the project has a slow down and is not very
active anymore...
The documentation packages can be updated without any issues, although
they may reference commands and features not in your current version
of R. kernsmooth and mgcv do not require R 2.8.0, so they should be
able to be upgraded, although if you can keep those back, it might be
a good idea. If you are using Synaptic, you can go to Package->Force
Version, just make sure you make a note to unforce them once you
upgrade to 2.8.0
Oh nice I discovered it! Nevertheless do you think it would be a good
idea to make the doc package for 2.8 dependant on R 2.8? May not other
user be in a trouble with a partial update?
Hope this helps,
Definitely, thank you!

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,

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
