If he can reproduce it: I cannot. Hmisc does not say it depends on chron according to its DESCRIPTION file, so I don't see where the idea comes from. A misreading of http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/Hmisc.html ? Certainly Hmisc does not load chron (or anything else) on any of my systems. Further, dependencies are loaded *before* the package in question. After > library(its) I get > search() [1] ".GlobalEnv" "package:its" "package:Hmisc" [4] "package:methods" "package:stats" "package:graphics" ... One way out would be to load chron, Hmisc and then its in that order, but are these really the current its (1.0.9) and Hmisc (3.0-7)? >>> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- >>> From: Omar Lakkis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>> Date: Oct 27, 2005 11:47 AM >>> Subject: its dates masked by chron >>> To: [email protected] >>> >>> >>> I built R 2.2.0 from source on my debian machine yesterday and updated >>> all packages.
