Hello,
I am trying to upgrade to 2.11 from 2.10 in the hopes of gaining
TCL/TK capabilities (let's pretend for the moment that this should
work).  I've added "deb http://cran.stat.ucla.edu/bin/linux/ubuntu
lucid/" to /etc/apt/sources.list as described in the guide and have
run
apt-get update
apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
Things seem to work.  When I look at the installed packages on my
machine, I see:
bd at bd-laptop:~$ apt-show-versions | grep "r-base"
r-base/unknown uptodate 2.11.1-2lucid0
r-base-core/unknown uptodate 2.11.1-2lucid0
r-base-dev/unknown uptodate 2.11.1-2lucid0
But when I run R, I'm still running 2.10:

What's going on?  Sorry if this has been addressed before; I've been
unable to find it in the archives.
