There must be a simple answer to this. I'm running ubuntu gutsy, currently have 2.7.2 loaded, but the update tools refuse to update it, and don't tell me why. With apt-get I get :
[668 ~]$ sudo apt-get -u -V --simulate dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following packages have been kept back: r-base (2.7.2-1gutsy0 => 2.8.0-1gutsy1) r-base-core (2.7.2-1gutsy0 => 2.8.0-1gutsy1) r-base-dev (2.7.2-1gutsy0 => 2.8.0-1gutsy1) r-cran-rpart (3.1.41-1gutsy0 => 3.1.42-1gutsy0) r-recommended (2.7.2-1gutsy0 => 2.8.0-1gutsy1) 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded. If I use a gui package manager, it tells me the update will break the installation and refuses to go forward, but doesn't show what the issue is. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Alan K.
