I updated R to R 2.15.0 via apt-get and received the message that r-cran-mass was blocked. I recently tried apt-get update/ apt-get safe-upgrade and received the same message, for r-cran-mass-7.3.16-1lucid0 I currently have MASS 7.3-7 installed How can I figure out what is wrong and correct it? thx,

What repository are you using for R: default Ubunut, CRAN, or the PPA? Note, a new version has been released (7.3-18) and I just uploaded it (available soon on PPA, next 12-24 hours on CRAN). That may fix the issue. Michael

I'm using CRAN. In /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://probability.ca/cran/bin/linux/ubuntu lucid/ I guess what I'm asking is, first how can I tell *why* MASS is being blocked; then maybe I can figure out how to fix it.

The issue may be the use of the the "safe-upgrade" option. The first thing is that I don't think apt-get has a "safe-upgrade" option. Are you using aptitude or the "dist-upgrade" option in apt-get? I think you can solve the problem by just using "apt-get upgrade". I don't know why it is blocking MASS, but something in the "safe/dist-upgrade" procedure is holding it back. Hope this helps, Michael

Remove r-cran-vr. This was a virtual package that made sure class, MASS, nnet, and spatial were installed. It is no longer needed. So if you remove that, you should be good to go. Or use "apt-get upgrade". Michael
