The primary error seems to be:
"Creating a new generic function for "diff" in "spam"
Error in setGeneric(f, where = where) :

function"
And the full output follows. Any thoughts on what may be happening
and/or how to work arou
No, it is R version 2.13.1
This is the latest version apt-get is getting.
Is there some advanced technique for obtaining version 2.15.1 ?

Thank you for your snark but it was not necessary.
In fact I *have* read the "documentation". That's how I got R installed
in the first place. But I followed, again, the instructions on that page
and, again, I am still at version 2.13.1. (SEE BELOW)
Is there some other means of causing R to upda
Thanks! But no. sources.list already contains:
deb http://http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/bin/linux/ubuntu oneiric/
Re-running any sort of apt-get results in the same failure to upgrade R.
Is there some way of installing a version of this "spam" library which
is compatible with the version of R that
also, it does not help to remove and re-install r-base. as far as apt-get is
concerned, version 2.13.1 is the latest.

Hello!
No, doing a hand-install of the spam package fails in the same way as
when it is installed via installing the fields package. ie, in exactly the
same
way as seen in the initial post in this thread.
Apparently the latest version of "spam" is incompatible with the version
of R that I have i
Well, it looks like part of the problem is that there's an r-base
on us-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com which apt-get I suppose
must be thinking is the latest.
# apt-cache showpkg r-base
Package: r-base
Versions:
2.13.1-1
(/var/lib/apt/lists/us-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric_
If I comment out everything in the sources.list file *except* the cran entry,
apt-get fails this way:
# apt-get --reinstall -V install r-base

Reinstallation of r-base is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
I suppose since the package system is completely borked, I'll have to build
from sources.
But there doesn't seem to be any documentation clarifying what sources I
need.
r-base-core ?
r-base ?
r-base-dev ?
Those will probably be the minimum? But are there other packages that are
Still, it would be a lot easier if there were just a version of the "spam"
library that was known to work with this release of R. Has anyone
successfully
installed this "spam" thing? How did you do it?
Thanks!

No, I repaired that immediately and tried again. It failed in the same way,
re-installing the
old version. I tried commenting out everything in the sources list except
the CRAN archive
and then R could not be installed.
Sorry, no. I does not "just work".
