Re: [R] is there a way to update both packages if they occur in 2 libraries?

update.packages() updates all packages in all libraries listed in .libPaths() unless you specify an explicit library. It may happen that the version number has not changed and you just want to reinstall for your upgraded R. In that case use: update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE) Best, Uwe Ligges

Re: [R] is there a way to update both packages if they occur in 2 libraries?

Thanks for the explanation Brian, I used the summary(packageStatus()) to have a look at what was available and in each library. And then deleted all libraries that came with R2.12.0 from my personal library. And everything now works. Chris Howden Founding Partner Tricky Solutions Tricky
