[R-sig-Debian] Problem with updating/reinstalling R under UBUNTU (Hardy)

[Vincent Goulet]

Christine,

It looks like your system is seriously FUBAR, on the R front at least. I recommend you deinstall everything R related. You may need to use a combination of apt-get, dpkg and good old rm (for the failed installation from sources).

And please, don't try to build from source on Ubuntu unless you have very specific needs. We provide binary packages so that you don't have to do this.

Once you system is clean, follow the instructions in the Ubuntu README on CRAN to get up and running again.
