R SIG Debian - Apr 2014 - R 3.1.0 Beta installed but I'm not sure how

Hi All, 

I have installed R on Ubuntu 12.04 with apt pointed at my favorite mirror
(http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/linux/ubuntu precise/). Today, I ran an
apt-get upgrade and now when I launch R, it tells me that I’m running R version
3.1.0 beta (2014-03-28 r65330) -- "Spring Dance”.

I’m slightly confused as when I look at the package list in
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/precise/, looks as though r-base-core
is version 3.0.3. In other words, I’m not sure how I got the the 3.1.0 beta
version installed and running instead?

Perhaps this is related to Paul’s message yesterday
(https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-debian/2014-April/002245.html) but I’m not
sure how to correct the situation. Apologies if this is something trivial - any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, 

-Rob

Hi Rob

I ran into the same issue earlier this morning on Ubuntu saucy. It appears
to be a mix up packing the 3.1 beta as 3.0.3.

You can downgrade your R installation running something like the following
in a terminal

sudo apt-get install r-base=3.0.3-1precise0 r-base-core=3.0.3-1precise0

Good luck
