Ana... contributed packages like data.table and dplyr are developed completely 
independently from R, have their own versions, and in fact both of them have 
recommendations as to how to report bugs in their package descriptions.

As for getting help here, you really need to supply ALL of the information 
requested to make forward progress in clarifying next steps... there were 
several items that Duncan mentioned that you failed to provide.

Also, note that dplyr and data.table take very different approaches to handling 
data, and have been known to not play well with each other. At the very least I 
would suggest using as.data.frame to convert to a standardized data 
representation before switching from using functions in one of these packages 
to using functions in the other package.
