Hi Dirk,
I already have the package installed.
$ apt-cache policy r-base-core
r-base-core:
Installed: 2.7.1-1+lenny1
Candidate: 2.7.1-1+lenny1
Version table:
*** 2.7.1-1+lenny1 0
500 http://ftp.hk.debian.org lenny/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/R/library/grDevices/DESCRIPTION
r-base-core: /usr/lib/R/library/grDevices/DESCRIPTION
It is there. But I can't find dev.new on R
B.R.
Stephen

You're confused.
It is part of R itself, and on Debian et al in r-base-core:
e...@max:~$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/R/library/grDevices/DESCRIPTION
r-base-core: /usr/lib/R/library/grDevices/DESCRIPTION
e...@max:~$
Hth, Dirk
