Could you try removing all R-related deb packages from your system, wiping the directories /usr/lib/R and /usr/share/R, then installing R again? Alternatively, write a script to search files and directories in /usr/lib/R and /usr/share/R, use `dpkg -S` to see if it's owned by a package and move it away if not. Both options are quite a bit dangerous, though. On second thought, what is in /usr/lib/R/site-library/labelled and /usr/lib/R/site-library/TH.data? If the two directories are empty, you can just remove them. -- Best regards, Ivan ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
