I downloaded the Leopard 64 bit pkg: R-2.9-beta-48309.pkg

It installed without apparent error. I want to retain version  
2.8.1  so I checked to make sure the receipt had been deleted.

The receipts are now superseded in Leopard by an internal  
database  which is controlled by pkgutil, so you have to use  
pkgutil --forget  instead.

I forgot to mention that I also tried that strategem at a bash  
prompt  after reading the MacOSX FAQ and was given the response  
the no such  program could be found.
bash: pkutil: command not found

That looks like a copy/paste error, but the question is, when?   
Did you try to run pkgutil and miscopy the error message, or did  
the error happen earlier?

WTF?

I (thrice)  1) tried the command earlier and got that message, and  
2) more recently correctly copied the error message when I ran it,  
and  3) now tried  pkgutil --forget R-Framework.pkg. Warnes said it  
was dpkgutil (or pkgutil), you say it is pkgutil. All three have  
unfavorable results. Screen-scrapes of the last two attached:

It is pkgutil as in my e-mail [thanks @ Gregg - I didn't notice the  
typo in the ReadMe]. The name to forget is definitely not R- 
Framework.pkg because it is supposed to be ID of the package, but it  
depends how you installed the first R. If you used the Leopard  
installer then it's

pkgutil --forget org.r-project.R.Leopard.fw.pkg

To see a list of installed packages, use

pkgutil --pkgs

Usually you only have to forget the framework, the GUIs install in  
the same location, so you have to move them aside in either case.

pkgutil --pkgs
