I just followed the instructions on
CRAN<http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/README> to install
R on an Ubuntu instance.
sudo apt-get install r-base

Why does it install an old version of R?  Can I install version 15.1?

I changed my sources.list to be a current cran mirror.  I believe that I
have entered the URL correctly because at first I had it wrong (there was a
trailing "/"), and I fixed that error.   when I run
sudo apt-get install r-base
it says that I'm at the most current version, but I can see 15.1 in the
repository.
