> First of all, thank you very much for your work.

> Some weeks ago I upgraded the Ubuntu system of my laptop from 9.10
> (Karmic) to 10.4 (Lucid), in which I had R 2.11.0, and everything went
> ok with R 2.11.0.
>
> Yesterday, I did the same with the PC of my office, but when I tried
> to update the packages with:
>
>> update.packages(checkBuilt=T)
>
>
> I got the following error (I apologize because the messages are in Spanish):
>
>> update.packages(checkBuilt=T)

> In open.connection(con, "r") :
>  no fue posible conectarse a 'cran.r-project.org' en el puerto 80.

>
> I would like to know if this problem is due to the fact of the
> uploading process of the new release 2.11.1 or if the problem is on my
> side.

> By the way, this morning I upgraded to the new release 2.11.1 and I
> still have the same error message (I have tried with several mirrors).

>> Dear Ubunutu R users,
>>
>> Vincent Goulet and myself would like to announce the availability of R
>> 2.11.0 for Ubuntu's latest release, Lucid Lynx.  The packages should be on
>> or arriving soon to your favorite mirror.  R 2.11.0 packages also exist on
>> CRAN for all Ubuntu releases going back to hardy.
>>
>> As Johannes Ranke pointed out for the Debian release, R packages installed
>> under R < 2.10.0 may have to be updated or rebuilt because of changes in the
>> R help system.
>>
>> If you have any problems, please let us know.
