The latter location is used for the packages installed by the Debian package system (please correct me if I am wrong, Dirk). I think it would be preferable to keep them in sync with the Debian repository you are using for your R packages (seems to be CRAN). Since you upgraded r-base, too, you should have gotten the current mgcv package from CRAN as well, since r-base depends in r-recommended, which in turn pulls r-cran-mgcv. In case you don't need the very latest version of the mgcv package, I would not bother to upgrade the packages in /usr/lib/R/library. Just my 2 cents, Johannes _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Debian mailing list R-SIG-Debian@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian
