OK, here's the thing that's nagging me a bit. This is what happened
as far as I can remember.
Installed Debian
Installed Emacs24.4 from backports
Installed R from debian CRAN vide instructions from CRAN site
Installed Rstudio.deb community edition from Rstudio site
While installing packages via Rstudio, lCurl fails due to the error I
documented in prior posts
You and Brian now recommend libcurl4-* from backports which will
download a boatload of other stuff just to get this swirl/Lcurl
package working.
1. Do I have to uninstall & reinstall the cran packages, Rstudio before
proceeding? And this needs to be done from backports?
2. Will this impact Rstudio installation if the R install is from
backports?
3. And if I do get the above working, how will my planned upgrade to
Jessie affect the installed packages from backports.
I think I'm confused whether I should remember that some bits of
software are from backports and it's incumbent on me to track all this
while upgrading to Jessie or installing anything else from stable. I
really don't want to do that and if Debian takes care of the magic in
the background, that'd be wonderful.
