Good day, A self-contained example which reproduces the problem is
packagesFolder <- tempdir() latestFolder <- file.path(packagesFolder, "latest") dir.create(latestFolder) devtools::create(file.path(latestFolder, "statistics"), description = list(Version = "1.1.0", Depends = "extras (>= 1.0.5)")) devtools::create(file.path(packagesFolder, "extras"), description = list(Version = "1.0.0")) devtools::create(file.path(latestFolder, "extras"), description = list(Version = "1.1.0")) latestInstall <- file.path(.libPaths()[1], "latest") dir.create(latestInstall) install.packages(file.path(packagesFolder, "extras"), type = "source", repos = NULL) install.packages(file.path(latestFolder, "extras"), type = "source", repos = NULL, lib = latestInstall) install.packages(file.path(latestFolder, "statistics"), type = "source", repos = NULL, lib = latestInstall) > library(statistics, lib.loc = latestInstall) Error: package ‘extras’ 1.0.0 was found, but >= 1.0.5 is required by ‘statistics’ The latest version of the statistics package is loaded, but the directory of latest packages is ignored by R when it considers the package dependency. -------------------------------------- Dario Strbenac University of Sydney Camperdown NSW 2050 Australia ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
