Details please. What is FLR? Where is coming from? Can you install from source? Why would it be restricted to R 2.8.1? If this is FLR from the flr-project.org site, then you can try the _sources_ from r-forge: https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=318 | So my question is whether I can keep the latest release (R-2.9.1) | and also install R-2.8.1 (and if feasible how.) Not via the package management system which can provide exactly one package. You could install another version locally from source in /usr/local/ but that may be more trouble that it is worth. | Alternatively I could uninstall R-2.9.1 and just install R-2.8.1 but as the | package installation is usually on-line it might cause conflicts among | packages and R releases? I'd discuss with the FLR folks how to get their package (released or from r-forge) working with R 2.9.1 on Debian..
