Thers's appears to be a typo in the help page for Startup. I
believe the following paragraph
A function `.First' (and `.Last') can be defined in appropriate
`.Rprofile' or `Rprofile.site' files or have been saved in
`.RData'. If you want a different set of packages than `methods'
and `ctest' when you start, insert a call to `options' in the
`.Rprofile' or `Rprofile.site' file. For example,
`options(defaultPakages = character())' will attach no extra
packages on startup.
should have `options(defaultPackages = character())'
