Dear all,
I am trying to upgrade from ubuntu 19 to 20 but I got some R stuff that
stop the process:
```
$ apt list --upgradable
Listing... Done
r-cran-kernsmooth/xenial 2.23-15-3xenial0 amd64 [upgradable from:
2.23-15-3build2]
r-cran-nnet/xenial 7.3-12-2xenial0 amd64 [upgradable from: 7.3-12-2build2]
$ R --version
R version 3.6.1 (2019-07-05) -- "Action of the Toes"
Copyright (C) 2019 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
```
Since I have R 3.6 how can I remove or update these r-cran things?

Dear Luigi,

These questions (and your previous one about R on Chromebook) are best
directed to the R-SIG-Debian mailing list [*], or maybe Ubuntu forums
[**]. I think that they are off-topic here on R-help.

Here is a short advice: try to make sure that you have the
r-recommended package installed from CRAN, not Ubuntu repository. If
that doesn't help, try to raise the priority [***] of packages from the
CRAN repository in order to avoid them being superseded by Ubuntu
packages. Another workaround would be removing the *.deb kernsmooth and
nnet packages from the system and installing them manually from CRAN in
the personal library by means of install.packages().
