Hi, Whenever I run update.packages() certain packages reappear over and over again as packages to be updated. Specifically, the problems appear with the packages gregmisc and gap:
> update.packages() gregmisc : Version 2.0.7 installed in /usr/local/lib/R/library Version 2.0.8 available at http://cran.dk.r-project.org Update (y/N/c)? n gap : Version 1.0-3 installed in /usr/local/lib/R/library Version 1.0-6 available at http://cran.dk.r-project.org Update (y/N/c)? n XML : Version 0.97-8 installed in /usr/local/lib/R/library Version 0.99-6 available at http://cran.dk.r-project.org Update (y/N/c)? n Ignore the XML part. XML cannot be updated due to an old version of libxml2. Updates of gregmisc and gap complete succesfully. On the next update.packages() they are update again... I have no clue what causes this. The system is a Red Hat Linux 9.0 system fully updated. The R version is: R : Copyright 2006, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.2.1 Patched (2006-03-13 r37533) ISBN 3-900051-07-0 The problem has occurred consistently with a number of recent versions of R, that I've had installed. The problem has been around with gregmisc for a while but started to occur with gap fairly recently. Uninstalling and reinstalling the packages does not remove the problem.
