The problem R ver is 2.10.1 - I am using 2.11.1
Running windows xp sp3 - same system as what I use

The suggested solution is for the user to upgrade to 2.11.1 to resolve package 
incompatibilities

I am helping a fellow worker get R up and running, and he has run into a 
peculiar problem I've not encountered in previous install situations.

>From the Rconsole menu choice, he can set CRAN mirror to USA CA2, but when he 
>selects "load packages" a very truncated list of packages appears (many 
>packages don't appear at all).

If he issues "chooseCRANmirror()" from the > prompt, he can still select USA 
CA2, but still can't see all the packages that are there.

If he issues 

local({pkg <- select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRUE)),graphics=TRUE)
+ if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)})

he gets this error:

Error in select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRIE)), graphics = TRUE :
   Unused argument(s)  (graphics = TRUE)

When I issue same command from > prompt, I get the expected list of packages.

Has anyone encountered this problem?  I've searched CRAN help, but got nowhere.
