This is what happened as far as I can remember. Installed Debian Installed Emacs24.4 from backports Installed R from debian CRAN vide instructions from CRAN site Installed Rstudio.deb community edition from Rstudio site While installing packages via Rstudio, lCurl fails due to the error I documented in prior posts You and Brian now recommend libcurl4-* from backports which will download a boatload of other stuff just to get this swirl/Lcurl package working. 1. Do I have to uninstall & reinstall the cran packages, Rstudio before proceeding? And this needs to be done from backports? 2. Will this impact Rstudio installation if the R install is from backports? 3. And if I do get the above working, how will my planned upgrade to Jessie affect the installed packages from backports. I think I'm confused whether I should remember that some bits of software are from backports and it's incumbent on me to track all this while upgrading to Jessie or installing anything else from stable. I really don't want to do that and if Debian takes care of the magic in the background, that'd be wonderful.
