Hi R developers and debian users:

Finally I found how to work with aggregate() function
on the last patched version fo R.

I you use this command it fails:
aggregate(state.x77, list(Region = state.region), mean)

But if you modify it in this way, it works!:

 aggregate(state.x77, list(Region = state.region), function(x) mean(x) )

Is it necesary to change the example?

What is changing in aggregate() function?

I get identical results from those, but if I had a local variable (not a function) named "mean", the first one would not work:

> mean <- 2
> aggregate(state.x77, list(Region = state.region), mean)
Error in FUN(X[[1L]], ...) : element 1 is empty;
   the part of the args list of 'is.list' being evaluated was:
   (INDEX)

I suspect that is what is going wrong for you.

Thank you for your attention.
