Hi all, how do you update R on Debian lenny? I have tried to re-install r-base after adding deb http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian lenny-cran/ to my backport lists but it keeps installing R 2.7.1. What should I be doing to get the lattest R release? I need it to install a package (plyr) Thanks, David.
R in Lenny will always be 2.7; the updates will only pick up major bug fixes. My understanding is that the newest R is available for Lenny on backports; I'm not familiar with lenny-cran. There will be some issues combining new R's with the R packages available in lenny; the help system has changed. Ross
