Dear R-core/development-team, The problem noted in the subject-line has been a problem in the last three development versions of R for Windows that I have downloaded and tested, the most recent of them being a version I downloaded this morning.
Update.packages() using the graphical option, i.e. called as update.packages(ask='graphics', checkBuilt=TRUE) does not work as it should, but presents a list of all of the installed packages, regardless of version/time-stamp. The call update.packages(old.packages()) works as it should. > sessionInfo() R Under development (unstable) (2011-07-31 r56569) Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_South Africa.1252 LC_CTYPE=English_South Africa.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=English_South Africa.1252 LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=English_South Africa.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_2.14.0 ----- Mark Difford (Ph.D.) Research Associate Botany Department Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Port Elizabeth, South Africa -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Graphical-option-to-update-packages-in-development-version-build-of-the-2011-07-31-r56569-for-Windowy-tp3718847p3718847.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
