[R-sig-Debian] annoying warnings in ESS/Emacs

[Simon Blomberg]

Hi Dirk,

After struggling with apt-get, which kept telling me that ESS was the 
latest version, I finally downloaded 5.3.1 and installed it manually 
using dpkg. That got rid of the annoying warnings in R/Emacs/ESS. 
Thanks! Now I still have some dependency issues with R (I am very 
dependent on R for my work! :-) ), but I think I can wait for the next 
release, and update everything then.

Cheers,

Simon.
