However, this is no longer an issue for me: I seem to have it installed on this
new install (of last week).
Sorry about the false alarm.
grDevices is a "base" package, so it will always be present with a
proper R installation, and it is only updated when R itself is updated.
Yes, that is what I thought so too earlier (and indeed is still true, sorry
about that). The whole issue started at my end because I misremembered about
plotmath which is neither a function nor a package.
Perhaps install.packages() should give a different error message when
you attempt to install a base package.
Yes, that would be more desirable.
Done now (as a warning, not an error).
