I don't mind using sudo apt-get update/upgrade/install buit I get into crazy loops (hours) that clearly can't be trusted. But when I use Synaptic (reload/mark for install R-base) every time I get some list of things things it want to install as well and syas "Mark" which it does not do and when I go forward with the Synaptic install of R-base I get this (and abort) every time:
r-base: Depends: r-base-core (>=2.9.0-2hardy0) but 2.6.2-2 is to be installed Depends: r-recommended but it is not going to be installed I cannot get a pre-install of either of these. I got greedy a week ago and tried to install R_2.9.0 over my R_2.6.2-2 and now I have nothing. I have a Dell-Mini Ubuntu 8.04 for 15 days. I don't get it. Any ideas? I'm embarrassed to say this is my second trip through on R (to this forum). Thanks.
