 I uninstalled all previous versions of R because I though I will have
 quick solution but it did not help. Error looked same for upgrade though.

 I goes like this:

 {{{
 sudo port install R
 --->  Fetching R
 --->  Verifying checksum(s) for R
 --->  Extracting R
 --->  Configuring R
 --->  Building R
 --->  Staging R into destroot
 --->  Installing R @2.9.0_0+gcc43
 --->  Activating R @2.9.0_0+gcc43
 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error:
 /opt/local/lib/R/library/Matrix/CONTENTS already exists and does not
 belong to a registered port.  Unable to activate port R.
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 }}}

 Do I really have to delete all packages to make it work?

 If there is no quick resolution please advise how to install previous
 version of R through macports.

 Thanks
