Have you looked at the instructions at the URL which Sarah Goslee drew to the attention of the list on 19 July 2012?
There's a special README for Ubuntu to help you get the current version. http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/README
You probably need to modify your /etc/apt/sources.list file in the manner suggested in those instructions. cheers, Rolf Turner On 02/27/2013 10:16 AM, Dave Mitchell wrote:
I'm trying to install R 2.15 on an Ubuntu server. I'm getting the "depends .... but it's not going to be installed" error messages I've seen people write about, but never solve. I've attached a screen shot, if that helps. Has anyone seen (and solved) these updating issues? I find it hard to believe that everyone using Ubuntu server is an R version behind. Thanks for your time.
