I downloaded the Leopard 64 bit pkg: R-2.9-beta-48309.pkg

It installed without apparent error. I want to retain version 2.8.1 so I checked to make sure the receipt had been deleted.

The receipts are now superseded in Leopard by an internal database which is controlled by pkgutil, so you have to use pkgutil --forget instead.
I forgot to mention that I also tried that strategem at a bash prompt after reading the MacOSX FAQ and was given the response the no such program could be found.
bash: pkutil: command not found

That looks like a copy/paste error, but the question is, when? Did you try to run pkgutil and miscopy the error message, or did the error happen earlier?

WTF?

I (thrice) 1) tried the command earlier and got that message, and 2) more recently correctly copied the error message when I ran it, and 3) now tried pkgutil --forget R-Framework.pkg. Warnes said it was dpkgutil (or pkgutil), you say it is pkgutil. All three have unfavorable results. Screen-scrapes of the last two attached:

OK, so I made a capitalization error. Shoot me.

I am thinking I may not be properly qualified to be on R's bleeding edge.
