the above command.
Not mentioning lib.loc works, but I get errors for two packages: rgl and
vcd.
Yes, perhaps that command does need to be updated on cran. The best
thing to do is run update.packages() with no arguments so all library
locations can be checked for updates.
Yes, my thought too: in the README, just say "A routine update can then
be undertaken from R using ..."
update.packages()

colorspace was initially installed via apt-get install. I also tried the
following within R. It seemed to
work, but didn't make any difference in update.packages() for vcd.
install.packages("colorspace")

Relevant version information on vcd and colorspace:
packageDescription("vcd", fields = c("Package", "Version", "Depends"))
Package: vcd
Version: 1.2-7
Depends: R (>= 2.4.0), MASS, grid, colorspace
packageDescription("colorspace", fields = c("Package", "Version",
"Depends"))
Package: colorspace
Version: 1.0-1
Depends: R (>= 2.0.0), methods
So, vcd 1.2-7 from r-cran-vcd was built for R 2.9.2. vcd 1.2-9 is
available, but I can't install it.
How can I correct this?
When you first listed the installed packages, colorspace was not among
them. Not sure why that is. My suggestion would be to remove
colorspace via apt-get, then install it again from within R with
install.packages().
r-cran-colorspace was actually installed via apt-get as a dependency of
one of the other r-cran packages I
installed initially. What I showed was that it wasn't listed among
old.packages(). I'll try your suggestion,
but what made me suspicious was that vcd was the only r-cran package
listed as Built: 2.9.2, so I think
this is a more likely source of the problem.
