Hello,
I recently install ubuntus 10.04 LTS on my desktop. My target is to install
R from package manager as I learn that that will easier for me. I got the
"SECURE APT" from Micheal yesterday and successfully installed that.

However, I am unable to update my system successfully or to install R using
sudo apt-get update. When I clicked check on the update manager, Many
packages where downloaded and updated but one error persisted:

"Failed to fetch
http://cran.ru.ac.za/dists/bin/linux/ubuntu/lucid//binary-amd64/Packages.gz
404  Not Found
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones
used instead."

The same error occurred when I tried to install R using sudo apt-get update.


Since I am in South Africa, the cran mirror I added in my source.list is
:deb http://cran.ru.ac.za/ bin/linux/ubuntu lucid/

I am trying this for the first time and will be greatly obliged if I am help
out.
Best regards
Ogbos
