Hi.

Why is it that r-cran-boot from lenny (not lenny-cran) is installed
hotelling:~$ apt-cache policy r-cran-boot
r-cran-boot:
Installed: 1.2.33-1
Candidate: 1.2.33-1
Version table:
1.2.36-1 0
600 http://debian.lcs.mit.edu unstable/main Packages
1.2.36-1~lennycran.2.9.0 0
625 http://cran.fhcrc.org lenny-cran/ Packages
*** 1.2.33-1 0
750 http://debian.lcs.mit.edu lenny/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
and it is present on CRAN, as can be seen from the above. ...
I had been under the assumption (this may reflect my rather limited understanding of APT) that r-recommended from lenny-cran would automatically pull the recommended packages (e.g., survival, boot, etc) from lenny-cran.
I don't use versioned dependencies in the backports. However, generally the higher version number would be given preference (based on my also limited understanding of apt, as it sometimes still surprises me). Possibly you have something in your /etc/apt/preferences, or maybe you even used tagging when installing r-cran-boot? Just thoughts... Anyway if it is not /etc/apt/preferences causing this behavior, you can probably still just apt-get install -t lenny-cran r-cran-boot. Johannes
This does not look like 'a rather limited understanding of apt' ...
Take care,
You too. Piet
