[R-sig-Debian] errors from update.packages()

[Michael Friendly]

Running R.2.11.1, debian linux, I tried to update.packages as root 
within R and get errors
for cairoDevice and latticeExtra I don't know how to fix.
For cairoDevice, I don't know what gtk+2.0 is;
for latticeExtra, I'm surprised that R cannot find RColorBrewer built 
for R 2.10+

What to do?
