[R-sig-Debian] Ubuntu 13.10 - not able to upgrade R

Looks like you will need to update packages in a specific order. Since
spatial depends on date, date needs to updated first.

update.packages("date")

Then try again and see what it tells you next.
It's a bit of a pain but will eventually work. The other option is to
dump the list of current packages. Uninstall the old and try to install
from the list.

Thanks,
Alex
