Hi, running install.packages() to install a package from a local repository (i.e., starts with file:///) appears to delete the PACKAGES file that is in the src/contrib/ directory. This happens on a cluster running Scientific Linux release 6.4 (Carbon), but not on my Ubuntu local machine.
Subsequent calls to install.packages() complain about src/contrib/PACKAGES not existing, although there still is a src/contrib/PACKAGES.gz file. Is this a know issue? Thank you.
