Hello! A couple of days ago I submitted the problem report shown below to the support forum for WinSCP. I got a reply (shown at the end of this e-mail) saying that this in part was a WinSCP problem, but also that there appeared to be something wrong with the replies from OpenSSH-3.9p1 under AIX 4.3.3. The full dialog including the reply can be seen at

Let me redirect the topic a bit. I've been considering unbundling gregmisc. The pro would be that people would find the component packages (i.e. gdata) more easily. The con is that the packages have a number of interdependencies, so you pretty much will need to get most of them anyway. As the latest gregmisc bundle contains a gregmisc package that is just a stub that depends on and loads

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.

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?

Hi, I am trying to install the genetics package on a server with Linux, Fedora. I installed it in a PC and worked fine. In a server since I am not used with R, I am not sure what do I need to change so genetics pkg can see some package dependencies: Any suggestion is appreciated, Aldi Note: genetics expects gregmisc and mvtnorm to be installed already. gregmisc creates gdata etc dependencies.

Given the confusions that some users have regarding package bundles, I'd like to suggest some changes to how package bundles are handled. My understanding is that a package bundle is essentially a convenient way to distribute related packages, so that users can download/install them in one shot. However, some users apparently get confused that one can do install.packages("abundle")
