I just upgraded my Win7 32bits installation to 2.14.0 after deinstalling 2.12.x First thing I moved the win-library from 2.12 to 2.14 and executed a update.packages(ask='graphics',checkBuilt=TRUE)
(Swiss mirror).
This aborts with the console message:

Error in if (any(diff)) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

And the antivirus (AVG) pops up complaining that colorspace.dll contains the virus Win32/Heur I cannot ignore the thread because update.packages has already crashed when I can reach the antivirus dialogbox to push the "ignore" button.
To continue I had to remove the colorspace and ggplot2 packages.

Is it a known problem? What else can I do (except removing the above packages or changing antivirus)?

Yes (a known problem in AVG), and the standard advice is to change antivirus (or set exceptions, which I gather AVG does not allow). And please report the false positive to AVG: the more they hear about the more attention they will give it.

The binary distribution has been checked by e.g. Sophos (which both winbuilder and ox.ac.uk use).


Thanks!
