I have Ubuntu 14.04. I am trying to install the latest version of R (3.3.2) via apt-get, but for some reason, it keeps installing an older version (3.0.2). This is, anytime I type sudo apt-get install r-base, it gets me R 3.0.2. This problem has persisted for a while. I was able to procrastinate finding a real solution by downloading the version of R that I wanted and installing it via 

./configure
make
make install

However, now that I want to upgrade my R, it is a good time to figure out why apt-get is not working.

I tried updating apt-get typing:

sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update

But it still insists in installing R 3.0.2.

  • That's because the only version of r-base available in the default repositories of Trusty is 3.0.2: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/r-base – David Foerster Nov 10 '16 at 00:54
