Problem upgrading to 2.11
Perhaps this is me missing something obvious, but I've also noticed that I'm still able to run R even though none of the r-base packages seem to be installed (i.e. nothing is returned by apt-show-versions | grep "r-base"). I'm not sure what to make of that, but thought it was worth noting. Ben

Hello, I am trying to upgrade to 2.11 from 2.10 in the hopes of gaining TCL/TK capabilities (let's pretend for the moment that this should work). ?I've added "deb http://cran.stat.ucla.edu/bin/linux/ubuntu lucid/" to /etc/apt/sources.list as described in the guide and have run apt-get update apt-get install r-base r-base-dev Things seem to work. ?When I look at the installed packages on my machine, I see: bd at bd-laptop:~$ apt-show-versions | grep "r-base" r-base/unknown uptodate 2.11.1-2lucid0 r-base-core/unknown uptodate 2.11.1-2lucid0 r-base-dev/unknown uptodate 2.11.1-2lucid0 But when I run R, I'm still running 2.10:

Ben, Not sure why you have:
r-base/unknown uptodate 2.11.1-2lucid0
You should have: r-base/lucid uptodate 2.11.1-2lucid0 I think the first thing to do is remove R and then re-install. sudo apt-get remove r-base r-base-dev sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev If that does not work, resend the what apt-show-versions and R.version return.

Thanks Michael. ?I did what you suggested, but I still have bd at bd-laptop:~$ apt-show-versions | grep "r-base" r-base/unknown uptodate 2.11.1-2lucid0 r-base-core/unknown uptodate 2.11.1-2lucid0 r-base-dev/unknown uptodate 2.11.1-2lucid0 r-base-html/unknown uptodate 2.11.1-2lucid0 The only thing I can think is that it may be related to the mirror. The line in my sources.list reads: deb http://cran.stat.ucla.edu/bin/linux/ubuntu lucid/ which seems right, but perhaps I'm missing something. ?I'm not bothering with the key, so perhaps that is part of the problem... Here is the R.version:
