I couldn't find anything on the R FAQ's mentioning Debian
specifically.  And a simple search for 'upgrade' in the FAQ also
turned up nothing.  I even used Google to search for a way to upgrade
R using CRAN, with no relevant results.  After a little bit of
searching around the CRAN site I found this :

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/README

Which was all the information I needed.  Thanks for all the help.

Is there anyway to upgrade my R install through CRAN?  Or is there
some Debian repository that has an upgraded version of R?

Thanks again.

[R] install.packages saying the car package is not in the repositories

[Jeremy Morris]

I am attempting to install the car package using the command :

> install.packages('car',.Library)

After I have chosen a mirror, I get the following message :

Warning message:
no package 'car' at the repositories in: download.packages(pkgs,
destdir = tmpd, available = available,

I used the CRAN.packages() function to see what was going on, and the
car package is not listed.  I have also tried several mirrors, all
with the same error message.  I have tried to install other packages,
this has been successful.

Any help would be great.
