Hello,
first, big thank you to the developers of R, the release of recent version is very nice.!
Well, it seems that I've messed up my current installation by using two update mechanism at the same time on my Debian Sid box.
That is :
1)Debian Way per apt-get freshing up my R installation
2) irregularily "update packages()" from within R.
I guess this obviousely resulted in messing up my installation looking like this:
------------------------------------------------------------- > library() (..) Packages in library '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library':
accuracy ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** ade4 ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** debug ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** distr ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** eha Event History Analysis. ellipse ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** faraway ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** fortunes ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** leaps ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** mvbutils ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** mvtnorm ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** nlme Linear and nonlinear mixed effects models R2WinBUGS ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** RColorBrewer ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** sca ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** scatterplot3d ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** sn ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** sna ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** tree ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** xgobi ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** xtable ** No title available (pre-2.0.0 install?) ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems that my insane update method has entirely messed up the attached package section! All other packages still seem to be or run fine! Loading a package from above package section
> library(mvtnorm)
gives me:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error in library(mvtnorm) : 'mvtnorm' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since this is the first time I encounter a problem like this in R I wonder where to go from here:
1) Wipe out the existent installation and re-install GNU R ?
or
2) Is there possibly any other method to cope with this situation from within GNU R-2.0.0?
regards
Thomas
