Hello, I notice an odd behavior of gregmisc package when using "update.packages()" via R --no-save (as root). Every time I launch update.packages() gregmisc is repeatedly selected for upgrade. Current available version of gregmisc is 2.08 according to 'installed.packages()'. Despite I obviousely have already installed the most up to date gregmisc, gregmisc will be updated repeatedly? No one seems to have noticed a similar behavior like this before according to mail archive. All dependencies are seemingly meet and no error messages occured, so I am kind of stuck to figure out what happens here. Here is my update session: thomas# R --no-save ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
update.packages()
