Hi everybody

I try to update R 3.1.1 to R 3.2.2 on a Debian Jessie (8.2) server. I
try to do the following steps :

- Adding "deb-src http://cran.irsn.fr/bin/linux/debian jessie-cran3/"
to /etc/apt/sources.list
- Execute :
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
- And I get this :
...
r-base is already the newest version.
r-base-dev is already the newest version.
...

If i execute : apt-cache policy r-base
r-base:
  Installed: 3.1.1-1
  Candidate: 3.1.1-1
  Version table:
 *** 3.1.1-1 0
        500 http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

If someone has an idea, I'm really interested.

On Ubuntu 14.04, I have the same problem, but after installing the
libtiff4 package, I was able to update R to version 3.2.2. But it does
not work on debian...
