Dear List I use synaptic to download R on my Ubuntu 10.10. It seems latest version of R on Ubuntu is 2.11.1 Even when I use debian.cran.r-project.org to update my packages the problem remains (latest versions on CRAN are almost always 2 updates ahead of Debian packages) This is also true for a lot of other packages as well My specific problem is while I can use sudo apt-get to update packages from Debian repository I get a permission denied when I am trying to update from CRAN from within R. I am a Linux newbie Please help Regards Ajay
Ajay, Please make sure you have followed all the instructions listed here: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ If that does not solve the issue, please list the lines added to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and what commands you used to upgrade R. Michael
