package ‘Design’ is not available (for R version 2.15.2)

Dear David,

I'm afraid it's not a Debian problem, but instead a Design problem. As you 
can see here [1]: "Package ?Design? was removed from the CRAN repository."
As a matter of fact, it has been replaced, many years ago, by the package 
'rms'. See changes here [2]. Was it the only package with problem? If yes, 
problem solved :)

Best,
Mathieu.

Dear all,

i have re-installed Debian on my computer and for some reason I cannot install some packages anymore using the install.package command from the R console. Some packages I can, and some I cannot (Design for instance)

this is what I get:

install.packages('Design')

Installing package(s) into ?/usr/local/lib/R/site-library?
(as ?lib? is unspecified)
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done
Warning message:
package ?Design? is not available (for R version 2.15.2)



Any idea why and how to sort the problem?

Thanks,


David Biau

Please see:   

       http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Design/index.html

which is standard boilerplate for removed packages.  In this case, either one 
of

	sudo apt-get install r-cran-rms

or

        install.packages("rms")

will do the trick as Frank Harrell's "rms" package replaced his "Design"
package several years ago.

Hth,  Dirk
