[Rd] update.packages and incorrect "Version" (PR#1022)
`update.packages' fails when a package with incorrect Version field is found in R_LIBS:> update.packages()trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES' Content type `text/plain' length 49161 bytes opened URL .......... .......... .......... .......... ........ downloaded 48Kb Error in if (a[k] > b[k]) return(TRUE) else if (a[k] < b[k]) return(FALSE) : missing value where logical needed In addition: Warning message: NAs introduced by coercion The error comes from `newerVersion'. For me, the DESCRIPTION file of gee contains: Version: 4.13-3 (Gee version 98/1/27) which after b <- as.integer(strsplit(b, "[\\.-]")[[1]]) in `newerVersion' looks like "4 13 NA" and thows the error above.
