Yes, then we cannot help and you have to ask your company how to get the files, of course.

The firewall in my company blocks all binary files. Foreign is downloaded
in "wb" mode. Thus I have no chance to get it. The first fresh
installation was done from an external drive. As packrat is also
downloading the binaries instead of the source my download will always
fail.

My sessionInfo() is

Do have a suggestion?

foreign is a recommended package that is already part of your R
installation. and there shoudl not be a problem to install a recent
version of it.

What is the error message of you run
install.packages("foreign") from a new R session?

Hi All,

I tried to use packrat on

Due to internal firewall restrictions the package "foreign" could not be
downloaded as source. I assume that the package also contains some
binary
parts which will be blocked by the firewall.

When running packrat a directory "packrat" and a file called .Rprofile
were created in the project directory. A lot of library sources were
download, but not for "foreign".

After finishing the process the directory "packrat" and the file
.Rprofile
were deleted from the project directory.

Why is that? Just one source library missing and the whole directory is
gone? Having all libraries for my project without just one is better
than
none!

How can I use packrat with the missing library "foreign"?

Kind regards

Georg
