Hello, I notice an odd behavior of gregmisc package when using "update.packages()" via R --no-save (as root). Every time I launch update.packages() gregmisc is repeatedly selected for upgrade. Current available version of gregmisc is 2.08 according to 'installed.packages()'. Despite I obviousely have already installed the most up to date gregmisc, gregmisc will be updated repeatedly? No one seems to have noticed a similar behavior like this before according to mail archive. All dependencies are seemingly meet and no error messages occured, so I am kind of stuck to figure out what happens here. Here is my update session: thomas# R --no-save ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> update.packages()--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done gregmisc : Version 2.0.6 installed in /usr/lib/R/site-library Version 2.0.8 available at pangora.org/cran Update (y/N/c)? y try URL 'pangora.org/cran/src/contrib/gregmisc_2.0.8.tar.gz' Content type 'application/x-tar' length 901 bytes URL opened =================================================downloaded 901 bytes * Installing *source* package 'gregmisc' ...
