Dennis,
Detailed instructions for adding the Ubuntu repositories can be found here:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/
I think you need to make this change:
dev http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/linux/ubuntu jaunty/
You will also should install secure apt key as described in the
instructions.

Colleagues,
Please forgive my ignorance of this topic. I am experienced with the
installation/use of R in OSX and Windows, much less so with Linux.
I just created a virtual machine of Ubuntu 9.0.4. Using the Synaptic
Package Manager, I installed R 2.8.1. I would like to obtain 2.9.x and
I am having trouble doing so using the tools available within Ubuntu.
I tried
apt-get install r-base
The system replied that the newest version was already installed and no
changes were made.
I also added
dev http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/linux/debian etch-cran
to
/etc/apt/sources.list
Running apt-get install r-base again yielded no response.
Can anyone advise on the simplest means to update to 2.9.x. I need only
the basic packages, nothing special. Thanks in advance.
Dennis
