R SIG Debian - Aug 2009 - cannot upgrade to R 2.9.1 in Ubuntu

R-SIG-Debian help,

At the moment the R version installed on my machine is 2.8.1. (Ubuntu 9.04)
I wish to upgrade to  R 2.9.1.

I did:
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

but R is not upgraded although the "sources.list" file is updated
with:

deb http://cran.ii.uib.no/bin/linux/ubuntu jaunty/

When I run from the terminal I still get:

$ R

Did you also do 

     $ sudo apt-get update

to get current meta-information? Also do

     $ apt-cache policy r-base

which should show something like this

     $ apt-cache policy r-base
     r-base:
       Installed: (none)
       Candidate: 2.9.1-2jaunty
       Version table:
          2.9.1-2jaunty 0

          2.8.1-1 0

Hoep this helps,  Dirk

Just to bring closure here -- further off-list mail lead to 

     $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

which upgraded R to 2.9.1 as expected.
