updating r-cran- packages on a new Ubuntu lucid system
Hi Dirk, Thanks for explaining that you keep packages installed by R and package managers in separate directories. Do you happen to have any advice on how to avoid installing conflicting versions of the same package? Thanks, Kingsley

For what it's worth, I use the scriipt below (via ~/bin/update.r) which is
also an example script in the littler package.
It _explicitly_ restricts the update to
/usr/local/lib/R/site-library
so that the update from R is kept separate from the update via the Debian or
Ubuntu package manager.
Hope this helps, Dirk
