similar to: r-base is already the newest version (3.5.2-1bionic)

The silence has been deafening in respect of my latest cri de coeur about trying to install R via "sudo apt-get r-base". I have been thrashing around on my own, and getting nowhere. What I have tried is removing all traces of the "old" (installed from source) R from the system. I did "whereis R" and then moved all of the relevant directories that appeared, into

Rolf, I think it may help to read-up on dpkg and apt. Instead of 'whereis' do dpkg -l r-base-core to see the content of that package. Use apt-cache policy r-base-core to see what the package cache says about where it gets the package from. And so on. Also type -p R which R will tell where your system thinks R comes from. If you install R 3.5.2 you should not see R 3.5.1.

Desktop is CentOS 5.4 (32 bit). I have Google Earth version 4.2.205.5730 (13NOV2007 build date) installed. I have checkinstall (spelling?) installed, but am not sure if that was installed before or after Google Earth was installed. I have the Google Repository installed, but apparently Google Earth cannot be updated via yum and probably it was not installed via yum. Question: What is the best

Hi, Here is schedule for upcoming stable releases: 3.5.2 - This will be the last 3.5.x release. There was a critical bug fix that did not make it into 3.5.1, which made it necessary to do 3.5.2. I will accept other fixes, but the merge window will be very short: March 16 - Tag 3.5.2-rc1 and begin testsing March 25 - 3.5.2 release (If no regressions found during testing). 3.6.1 - Bug fixes

After installing wine from the source, I find out that the directory is consuming some significant amount of space, so I decided to remove it. But then I remembered that since I installed from source, I mighty need the source directory in the future, in case I decide to uninstall wine. After checking the documentation, I saw that was true. So I wonder: Can I remove the directory and in the future,
