[R] Installing specific version of R

[Sandhya Muloth Vijayachandran]

Hi,

When  I am trying to  install specific version of R ,  using  apt-get -y --force-yes install r-base=3.2.1-4precise0 r-recommended=3.2.1-4precise0 r-base-dev=3.2.1-4precise0,  I do see  correct version  being set up in in the logs , but the installed version shows me 3.2.4.
Is there anything else to be done to install specific version?

$version.string
[1] "R version 3.2.4 Revised (2016-03-16 r70336)"
