It is not a known issue, but we have no idea how to reproduce this from your message. My guess is that your build of MASS is faulty, as you seem to be missing all the data files. Does library(MASS) on its own work? Did you do `make check-all' on your build?
The problem is with library(MASS).
No, the problem is with your installation: everyone else is getting all these checks to pass. You did not check the installation fully ....
I have checked the MASS installation and all the data files are there and i can manually load() them just fine.
But that is not how they work: they are promises to load and you are missing the promises. How can you `have checked' something you don't understand?
make check-all on my current rsync'ed R-devel chokes at.
Ahah: do you have correct versions of the recommended packages? That is, run tools/rsync-recommended?
make[3]: Entering directory `/R/tests/Examples' collecting examples for package 'survival' ... file ../../library/survival/R-ex cannot be opened at ../../share/perl/massage-Examples.pl line 107. survival-Ex.R is unchanged
That's another error in your installation not seen elsewhere.
