[Running debian stable]
I followed the instructions at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian,
adding
deb http://cran.R-project.org/bin/linux/debian lenny-cran/
to /etc/apt/sources.list. But apt-get still leaves me with R 2.7.1.
How can I diagnose what's wrong or correct this?
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 :)
No, that's not the problem: I *do* have r-base and r-base-core
installed, but nothing of r-core*
% aptitude search '^r-base*'
i r-base - GNU R statistical
computation and graphics system
i r-base-core - GNU R core of
statistical computation and graphics sy
p r-base-core-dbg - GNU R debug symbols for
statistical comp. language an
p r-base-core-ra - 'ra' variant of GNU R

p r-base-html - GNU R html docs for

i A r-base-latex - GNU R LaTeX docs for

% aptitude search '^r-core*'
I'm reluctant to remove my prior R 2.7.1 (because I'm not sure what it
will take with it)
but will do so if this is the only way.
I still don't understand why apt/aptitude/ and friends don't see
anything more recent than
R 2.7.1, given that
deb http://cran.R-project.org/bin/linux/debian/ lenny-cran/
is an active repository.
