Dear Dirk (sorry for Mr. etc... formalism),

My intent in installing a newer R version is just an approach that "newer is
better". So, i'm a "teenager" statistician and R user, thus, i can not
discriminate a newer tar.gz package from stable debian packages. But you're
right about that i should use R coming from Quantian or maintained for
Debian.

I tried "apt-get...." command, so, i faced to the words:

root@quantian:/home/mutlay/r# apt-get -s build-dep r-base
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net ./
Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net_debian_._Packages)
- stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://kanotix.com ./ Packages
(/var/lib/apt/lists/kanotix.com_files_debian_._Packages) - stat (2 No such
file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list


The problem is still going on. If this problem will be solved after the
installation of debian packages of R, i am ready to use the packages now.

Thanks for all...

Mutlay.
