R SIG Debian - Mar 2012 - Upgrade from 2.11.1 to 2.14.2 options?

Linux kernel 2.6.18-2-pve Proxmox vm.
debian_version 6.0.4 Squeeze
sessionInfo()
R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31)
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
locale:
C

New to R, new to Debian.

I'm trying to upgrade from 2.11.1 to 2.14 following the steps outlined in
the doc below that I found on the link.

http://www.r-project.org/ -

DEBIAN PACKAGES OF R SOFTWARE

I added this line to the sources.list file it's my closest mirror.
deb-src http://cran.wustl.edu/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/

Ran apt-get update and then apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
No errors returned seemed to run clean.
Ran sessionInfo() from within R and it returns 2.11.1

Am I doing something wrong?
Do I need to take a different approach?

I have this link but I'm not sure of what I need off of it. If I do need to
pull something from it.

Index of /bin/linux/debian/squeeze-cran

Thanks


    For a backport of the latest R release to squeeze, simply add something
like

     deb http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/
   bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/

   to the file /etc/apt/sources.list on your computer and install as
   usual. Note that you need to substitute <favorite-cran-mirror> by one
of
the
   mirror URLs listed in

     http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html

   There are binaries for the i386 and amd64 architectures. You
   can use the source packages from

     deb-src http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/

   to compile binaries for other platforms.

   With an appropriate entry in /etc/apt/sources.list, the newest R release
   can be
   installed using a command sequence like

     apt-get update
     apt-get install r-base r-base-dev

Hi Jim,

Seems you need some pinning. What's the result of:

apt-cache policy r-base

?

Mathieu.

Jim,

In this line, change "deb-src" to "deb" and run

apt-get update

and

apt-get install r-base r-base-dev

You only activated the source package repository, but you only need  
the repository of compiled packages, unless you use an architecture  
other than i386 or amd64.

Kind regards,

Johannes
