[R-sig-Debian] Upgrade from 2.11.1 to 2.14.2 options?

[Mathieu Basille]

Oh, Johannes is right, I didn't see that one. Forget about the pinning then 
(well, it can be useful, but you probably don't need it. To give you an 
idea: http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html).

apt-cache policy gives you the status of the package of interest. From 
yours, it's clear that you didn't have the repository activated.

Mathieu.
