Thanks to all who answered me, After reading all the mails I got, I did the following:- I logged in as root in Debian Jessie- I started Rcmdr. it told me that some files are missing, it offered me to get them, I did not fill in anything, just said ok, I had to choose a website from where to download, ok, it downloaded and it worked quite a lot, in the end it said: the downloaded packages are in /temp/Rtmp25kiWx/downloaded_packages,- Rcmdr came up neatly,- I changed to normal user mode, Rcmdr came up neatly. The reason I choose to log in as root, was that I was unsure what would happen in the process.As root I can maintain "rights".All my R-packages I downloaded as normal user with a package commander. When some Debian developer reads the above: why was the usual package commander not enough?But I am glad I could reach this mailing list. with friendly greetings,Peter [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
