the bug seems to have a trivial solution; as far as i can see, it suffices to
replace
if (!is.logical(incomparables) || incomparables)
with
if(!identical(incomparables, FALSE))
in all its occurrences in src/library/base/R/duplicated.R
attached is a patch created, successfully tested and installed on Ubuntu 8.04
Linux 32 bit as follows:
svn co https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk trunk
cd trunk
# edit src/library/base/R/duplicated.R
svn diff > duplicated.R.diff
svn revert -R src
patch -p0 < duplicated.R.diff
tools/rsync-recommended
./configure
make
make check
and now
duplicated(data.frame(), incomparables=NA)
# error: argument 'incomparables != FALSE' is not used (yet)
regards,
vQ
