do with that knowledge: do I `aptitude remove` all of those packages
/not/ listed below or do something else?
Well these are the packages that will not work after the upgrade to R
3.0.x. You can leave them on your system, but I would recommend to
remove them and install them from within R using install.packages()
after the upgrade. But just to be clear: you do not need to remove those
that are in the list of supported packages in the README as these will
be upgraded together with base R.
I used synaptic to tell me which Debian packages came from r-cran, and I
tried deleting them in synaptic.
