Sorry, got a premature send. if you go to the website you refer to, you see it does have r-base-core and all the other stuff with the new R. They are there, why aren't you getting them? I *suspect* it is because the packages have been renamed. It appears to me your system has "r-core" but not "r-base-core" so the update finds nothing. Here's what I'd do. Remove the existing R installation entirely. Probably easiest to do with synaptic. Then reload the package database and install r-base-core. As long as you can hit one of the correct packages, all will be well because the apt system finds the required companions. But, then again, I'm just guessing :) pj -- Paul E.
