 From what I gather, after installing an R package, one needs to restart

 Yikes!  Turns out that...
 {{{
 ## <entry>
 ## Deprecated in 1.6.0
 ## Defunct in 1.7.0
 machine <- function() .Defunct()
 Machine <- function() .Defunct(".Machine")
 Platform <- function() .Defunct(".Platform")
 restart <- function() .Defunct("try")
 ## </entry>
 }}}
 Note that R is now at version 2.10.1!   So this is the problem here.  The
 restart() thing must be very old - and odd, since the function that
 replaced it was try (for exception handling.  Anyway, if reset() is good
 enough, that is fine - no need to do r.foo() if a normal Sage command does
 it well enough.  I'll work on a patch for this.
