Loading libraries in 2.0.0 (PR#7364)
Where do you think the bug is here? Both the NEWS file (in the very first
section) and the rw-FAQ tell you explicitly that packages (sic) have to be
reinstalled for 2.0.0. So does the error message you quote. What do you
think
o Packages must have been re-installed for this version, and
library() will enforce this.
means? Why do you think the major number has been changed from 1 to 2?
Since you are clearly not sure, the FAQ specifically asks you NOT to file
a bug report but to ask someone who knows.
There are updated Windows builds for Lindsey's `libraries' on his site.

I'm using version 2.0.0 of R on a Windows 2000 OS. Packages that I installed in 1.9.1 are not installing properly in 2.0.0. Specifically, I can install packages from local zip files with the following code (which I execute through the GUI):
install.packages(choose.files('',filters=Filters[c('zip','All'),]),
.libPaths()[1], CRAN = NULL) updating HTML package descriptions
install.packages(choose.files('',filters=Filters[c('zip','All'),]),
.libPaths()[1], CRAN = NULL) updating HTML package descriptions The packages do show up in the html help files after installing them. But the packages won't load when I use the library command:
library(repeated)
Error in library(repeated) : 'repeated' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0? Moreover, the package also shows up when I use the 'help' parameter in the library command:
library(help=repeated)
Yes, the package is there but it is not valid -- as the error message says. Whatever DO you think the message means?
A window with the list of functions in package repeated appears. Has anyone else had problems with this? I couldn't find anything in the Changes file for 2.0.0 that looked like it would be responsible for this.
