I have encountered two anomalies in version 1.8.0 that I had not observed in
version 1.7.0:
When using the menu Packages -> Update Packages from CRAN,
The console repeats the message twice (example below)
> update.packages()

and indicates an error message (example below)
package lattice lattice successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used in:
if
(!file.exists(md5file)) return(NA)
2: the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used in:
if
(file == "") file <- stdin() else {
3: only first element of `description' argument used
4: cannot open file `lattice/DESCRIPTION'
The packages all work properly. Message 4 appears with many updates.
When using help.start() to search for information, the references also appear
twice.
The example below uses lrm.fit from the Design package.
