R SIG Debian - Sep 2015 - Unable to install R 3.2 on debian jessie

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...

The instructions (today) say to add:

 "deb http://cran.irsn.fr/bin/linux/debian jessie-cran3/"

Not "deb-src ..." --  Could have been a typo that was since corrected.

Not really a typo, just taken from another part of the instructions - you need 
this form of the source line in case you want to compile from the source 
packages corresponding to the backports, i.e. if you want to compile on an 
architecture other than i386, amd64 or armel.
