OK, thanks both. I'll try that. I suspect (very strongly) that it comes
from the fact that I did not replace the cran mirror line by an actulal
cran mirror URLs... I will give a look at all my backports this weekend
and do a little cleaning too!
thanks,
David Biau.

Hi,
if you want the latest R version on lenny, please follow the instructions
in the README that Dirk gave already pointed to:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/
Installing packages with the method Denis just sketched is much more
cumbersome as dependencies are not automatically resolved.
Note that in the line
deb http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian lenny-cran/
you need to substitude <favorite-cran-mirror> by one of the mirror URLs
listed in
http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html
Kind regards,
Johannes
