Right, unfortunately package gtools does not pass the checks under
R-2.11.0 and hence is not distributed as a binary via CRAN.
Either convince the maintainer (CCing Greg) to fix the bug or try to
install the package yourself from sources (and fix the bug yourself, if
it matters for you).

Does anyone know when gtools will be updated to work with R 2.11.0?
According to
http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_gtools.html (as of
2010-04-28 11:53:59) it was still throwing errors on devel, patched, and
release. From the check results, it seems like it should not be too
hard of an error to fix:
> plot.s( "d", "V1")
Error in gsub(pattern, value, body, extended = TRUE) :
unused argument(s) (extended = TRUE)
Calls: plot.s -> gsub
Execution halted
It's bothering me because gtools in somewhere at the bottom of the
dependency tree of a package I want to use. When it did not work when R
2.11.0 was first released, I thought I'd give it a few days to be fixed,
but it has been almost a week so I thought I'd bring this up again.

Dear R-list members,
I have just downloaded R version 2.11.0. Then I installed
package gdata. At the end of the installation, a warning message
said that package gtools could not be found. Package gdata
was, after the installation, included in the "Package Index"
in the help files. Messages during installation (which was made
through the menu Packages / Instal package(s), choosing the Austria
site, R running on Windows XP):
utils:::menuInstallPkgs()
Warning: dependency ‘gtools’ is not available

When I tried to use (in R 2.11.0) package gdata and its function
write.fwf, I got the messages below:
library(gdata)
Error in loadNamespace(i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths())) :
there is no package called 'gtools'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'gdata'
write.fwf(x,'test-01.txt')
Error: could not find function "write.fwf"
(** Note: x is a data frame **)
Package gdata is correctly installed in my R 2.10.1, and both
packages gdata and gtools appear in the list of available packages
when I try to install some package in R 2.10.1 through the menu
Packages / Instal package(s), choosing the Austria site.
But when I try to install some package in R 2.11.0 through the
menu, only package gdata appears in the list of available packages
- package gtools does not appear in that list.
Both packages are listed on the CRAN (Austria) package Web page.
It seems that R 2.11.0 is somehow not "seeing" the package gtools.
Is there any way around this situation? How to correctly install
package gdata (which depends on gtools) in R 2.11.0?
Both R 2.10.1 and R 2.11.0 are running on Windows XP, in the same
computer.
Thank you very much.
