Hi Dirk,Really sorry for my mangling up the text format. Will try to take
special care of this in future posts.
I am now enclosing a text file separately with the same text. Have not used the
github repo before. Will give it a try to learn about that as well. You can
choose which forum you want to reply.Cheers, Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Can you try sending this again, preferably as a text (not html) email with a
little bit more attention played to formatting? Empty lines between
paragraphs help. It is currently near impossible to read this.
If it is solely a r2u matter you could also open an issue at its github repo,
issues allow you to format in markdown and formated included output verbatim.
Many thanks, Dirk

dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | [email protected] Hi,
I am grateful for the help that I received in setting up r2u on my ubuntu
system a while back. This is working fine. But I have some strange problem with
r2u on another PC that, as far as I know, I installed in the the same way.
Let me first show the results in Rstudio from the successfully working Ubuntu
system:
install.packages(c("broom", "curl", "data.table", "dbplyr", "dtplyr",
"evaluate", "forcats", "gargle", "ggplot2", "googledrive", "googlesheets4",
"haven", "hms", "igraph", "magrittr", "openssl", "pillar", "pracma", "purrr",
"Radviz", "ragg", "Rcpp", "RcppArmadillo", "reformulas", "renv", "rmarkdown",

Now, I will show the results from the Ubuntu system that appears to work OK,
but does not download anything:
install.packages(c("broom", "forcats", "hms", "magrittr", "openssl", "pillar",
"rmarkdown", "vroom"))

The .libPaths for the latter are :

"/usr/local/lib/R/site-library" "/usr/lib/R/site-library"

I don't have a problem with updating and installing ubuntu for the latter. The
problem appears to only with r2u.
Is this a known problem? Please let me know if any additional information is
needed for troubleshooting.
