Dear Larry,

yes, because of various factors the r-cran-* packages from the stable and 
especially the oldstable distribution are often not compatible with the 
backported r-base packages provided on CRAN. At current, buster is not 
affected, but your case shows that using stretch gives this problem.

In principle it would be nice to have a repo containing all the r-cran-* and 
r-bioc-* packages recompiled for these backports. Such a repository does exist 
for Ubuntu as far as I know (I don't use it). For Debian, such a repository 
currently does not exist.

In your situation, I think the easiest solution is to simply install caret and 
ggplot2 from within R.

Personally, I like the install.r and update.r scripts available from Dirks 
littler package. They make it possible to conveniently install and update R 
packages from source using the command line, if you have the scripts in your 
PATH.

Kind regards,

Johannes
