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? ## errors when installing R via Synaptic E: r-base-core: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10 E: r-base-dev: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-cran-boot: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-cran-mass: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-cran-class: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-cran-cluster: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-cran-codetools: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-cran-foreign: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-cran-kernsmooth: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-cran-lattice: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-cran-matrix: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-cran-nlme: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-cran-mgcv: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-cran-nnet: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-cran-survival: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-cran-rpart: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-cran-spatial: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: r-recommended: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured thanks ahead of time for any insight.
