[R] Upgrade R 3.2 to 3.3 using tar.gz file on Ubuntu 16.04
For this query I would rather recommend [1] as reference, though Marc's suggestion to switch mailing lists is best. [1] https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ -- Sent from my phone.

As I understood the OP, he has already installed this version, which is 3.2.3, but would like to install 3.3.1, which he will have to install from the sources. If this is the case, then there is no point reposting to r-sig-debian, since he just has to do a generic unix-like install.

No, the default Ubuntu version is behind but that link tells how to properly install the current version using the packaging system, which makes it more easily maintained than a custom compile would be. (Thanks, Dirk, Michael and Vincent!) Anyway, still OT here. -- Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity.
