Michael,

ESS broke again on my laptop after I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.10.  The elpa-ess
package seems to be provided multiple times, sadly the one with xenial
(16.04) in its name wins ... and breaks the setup.  I one for cosmic, I had
one from bionic (18.04), but because the names 'wrapped' the 'x' wins over
'b' and 'c'.  We had talked about that in the past, it would really be
preferably to use numbers.

I am not sure how to correct this without a rebuild. Fut for starters I think
you need to look at what gets mirrored because the xenial version should
probably not be here:
  http://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/cosmic-cran35/

Thanks again for you do here. It's a tremendous help.

Dirk
