Package: r-base-core Version: 2.5.1~20070513-1 Severity: important R CMD INSTALL -l /path/to/lib
no longer creates /path/to/lib but assumes it does already exist. This is a change in behaviour as it has worked with R 2.4.X looking at /usr/lib/R/bin/INSTALL, the problem seems to be in the block starting at line 298: lib=`tilde_expand "${lib}"` if test -z "${lib}"; then lib=`echo "cat('\n~~~', .libPaths()[1], '\n', sep = '')" | \ R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES=NULL "${R_EXE}" --no-save --slave | \ grep '^~~~' | sed 's/.*~~~//'` message "Installing to library '$lib'" else lib0=${lib} cd ${lib} <-------------- PROBLEM directory must not exist (call MKDIR_P before ?) lib=`${GETWD}` cd ${startdir} fi -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21.1-sonne (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages r-base-core depends on: ii atlas3-base [libblas.so.3 3.6.0-20.6 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra ii atlas3-sse2 [libblas.so.3 3.6.0-20.6 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.3-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgfortran1 4.1.2-7 Runtime library for GNU Fortran ap ii libice6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpaper-utils 1.1.21 Library for handling paper charact ii libpcre3 6.7-1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-1 PNG library - runtime ii libreadline5 5.2-2 GNU readline and history libraries ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-2 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii refblas3 [libblas.so.3] 1.2-8 Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines 3 ii tcl8.4 8.4.12-1.1 Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8 ii tk8.4 8.4.12-1 Tk toolkit for Tcl and X11, v8.4 - ii unzip 5.52-9 De-archiver for .zip files ii zip 2.32-1 Archiver for .zip files ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-14 compression library - runtime Versions of packages r-base-core recommends: ii r-base-dev 2.5.1~20070513-1 GNU R installation of auxiliary GN ii r-recommended 2.5.1~20070513-1 GNU R collection of recommended pa -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
