R help - Oct 2010 - package vars doesn´t working

Hello,

I was using R (v.2.11.1, 32 bits) and I did the upgrade to R (v.2.12.0, 64
bits). I followed the instructions in R´s FAQ (What´s the best way to
upgrade, question 2.8) and updated my packages. However, now, I can´t use
the library "vars". When I call it, there is an error message
concerning the
package "MASS" which couldn´t be updated because it seems to be no
more
available in R´s repositories.

Is this a problem with "vars"? Maybe it will have to be updated soon
with no
more need to ask for "MASS"? Is there another way to invoke
"vars"?

Thanks for your time and attention

Dear Claudio,

hard to tell without further information, but I reckon that you:

1) have a secondary library in use
2) have installed the packages 'vars' **and** 'MASS' installed
into this secondary library

If so, remove the package 'MASS' from this secondary library (it's
shipped in the standard library in your R installation already). Hint: check
whether you have installed other recommended packages into your secondary
library and if so, remove these, too. Otherwise you migt encounter the same
problem with packages that do depend on the ones that are already shipped in the
primary library of your R installation.

This all is just a guess, because you have not provided enough information to
diagnose further.

Best,
Bernhard
