[R-sig-Debian] Ubuntu Lucid, R 2.14.2, and ggplot2

[Scott Smith]

So I did:
sudo apt-get install r-cran-proto

And it appears to be "on the latest version".

I could go the "install.packages" route, but was trying to stick with the cran2deb packages as the rest of our system uses those.  Is the cran2deb system just untrustworthy at this point?  It seems to be re-built every evening.
