[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? euclid: /etc/apt # apt-get update Hit http://debian.yorku.ca stable Release.gpg Ign http://debian.yorku.ca stable/main Translation-en_CA Hit http://debian.yorku.ca stable/updates Release.gpg Ign http://debian.yorku.ca stable/updates/main Translation-en_CA Hit http://debian.yorku.ca testing Release.gpg Ign http://debian.yorku.ca testing/main Translation-en_CA Hit http://debian.yorku.ca stable Release Hit http://debian.yorku.ca stable/updates Release Hit http://debian.yorku.ca testing Release Ign http://debian.yorku.ca stable/main Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://debian.yorku.ca stable/main Sources/DiffIndex Hit http://debian.yorku.ca stable/main Packages Hit http://debian.yorku.ca stable/main Sources Ign http://debian.yorku.ca stable/updates/main Packages/DiffIndex Hit http://debian.yorku.ca stable/updates/main Packages Hit http://debian.yorku.ca testing/main Packages/DiffIndex Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates Release.gpg Ign http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Translation-en_CA Get: 1 http://cran.R-project.org lenny-cran/ Release.gpg [197B] Ign http://cran.R-project.org lenny-cran/ Translation-en_CA Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates Release Ign http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages/DiffIndex Get: 2 http://cran.R-project.org lenny-cran/ Release [1288B] Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages Ign http://cran.R-project.org lenny-cran/ Packages Get: 3 http://cran.R-project.org lenny-cran/ Packages [11.1kB] Fetched 12.5kB in 2s (5597B/s) Reading package lists...

Why did you use -t unstable? The distribution on CRAN for lenny is called lenny-cran, not unstable. Anyway, tagging should not be necessary. What does apt-cache policy r-base-core tell you? It should list both R 2.7.1 from lenny and R 2.11.0 from lenny-cran. Kind regards, Johannes
