Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but please help if
you can.

I have Ubuntu 10.04 OS and was running
R version 2.13.1 (2011-07-08)
Copyright (C) 2011 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
ISBN 3-900051-07-0
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)


I recently had problems using install.packages() to get 'maps' and 'mapproj'


anyway, long story short- I used synaptic package manager to remove all
R-related items.
When I reinstall it I get errors (see below).

I was actually getting similar errors when I tried to get the 'original awk'
package before I removed R
*like I said, there is a long story there.
Does anyone know what is going on, or what I should do without further
elaboration?
