>> Dear Michael,
>>
>> 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)
>> --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
>> Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done
>> Aviso: unable to access index for repository
>> http://cran.uk.r-project.org/src/contrib
>> Mensajes de aviso perdidos
>> In open.connection(con, "r") :
>>  no fue posible conectarse a 'cran.r-project.org' en el puerto 80.
>>
>>
>> what is really strange for me, because when I try 'apt-get update'
>> from the system console everything works fine (I didn't changed the
>> proxy set up after the upgrade).
>>
>>
>> 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).
>>
>> Thanks in advance,
>>
>> Mauricio

>>> 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

>>> 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.
