[Rd] update.packages keeps trying to update gregmisc
If I issue the command> update.packages()it wants to update 'gregmisc' but then if I do it again right afterwards it still wants to update 'gregmisc'. It should have updated everything the first time and should not be trying to update anything the second time. Any comments? Here is the transcript of a session (R version at end):> update.packages()gregmisc : Version 2.0.7 installed in C:/PROGRA~1/R/RW2010~1/library Version 2.0.8 available at http://probability.ca/cran Update (y/N/c)? y trying URL 'http://probability.ca/cran/bin/windows/contrib/2.1/gregmisc_2.0.8.zip' Content type 'application/zip' length 2465 bytes opened URL downloaded 2465 bytes package 'gregmisc' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked The downloaded packages are in C:\Documents and Settings\Grothendieck\Local Settings\Temp\Rtmp9430\downloaded_packages updating HTML package descriptions> update.packages()gregmisc : Version 2.0.7 installed in C:/PROGRA~1/R/RW2010~1/library Version 2.0.8 available at http://probability.ca/cran Update (y/N/c)? y trying URL 'http://probability.ca/cran/bin/windows/contrib/2.1/gregmisc_2.0.8.zip' Content type 'application/zip' length 2465 bytes opened URL downloaded 2465 bytes package 'gregmisc' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked The downloaded packages are in C:\Documents and Settings\Grothendieck\Local Settings\Temp\Rtmp9430\downloaded_packages updating HTML package descriptions> R.version.string # Windows XP[1] "R version 2.1.0, 2005-05-14"

One other point I just noticed. If I run new.packages() it reports this, namely that gregmisc has extra contents of NA.> np <- new.packages()--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Warning messages: 1: bundle 'VR' is incompletely installed in: new.packages() 2: bundle 'VR' has extra contents 'nnet' in: new.packages() 3: bundle 'gregmisc' is incompletely installed in: new.packages() 4: bundle 'gregmisc' has extra contents 'NA' in: new.packages() On 6/6/05, Gabor Grothendieck <ggrothendieck@gmail.com> wrote:> If I issue the command > > update.packages() > it wants to update 'gregmisc' but then if I do it again right afterwards it > still wants to update 'gregmisc'.
