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
