Let me stress again that it is not relevant. You need R 4.3.0 or R 4.3.1 which havce existed for months inside the distro. Nothing in the release notes will suggest R 4.3.2 and none of those packages will change between use with either R 4.3.1 and R 4.3.2. Dirk -- dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org
