Error in update() when repositories is specified.
I don't think that has ever been tested under Windows: until recently packageStatus did not work under Windows at all. The problem seems to be in ask=FALSE, which looks completely broken. ask=TRUE seems to work. This was true of Unix, 1.9.1 as well so I guess no one ever uses it ....

How can I specify the repositories for upgrade()?
You will find it easier to use contrib.url() here.
x <- packageStatus(repositories =
upgrade(x, ask = FALSE)
Error in update[, 3] : incorrect number of dimensions x, the object of class "packageStatus", prints and summarizes fine. I also ran install.packages() without incident.
install.packages(x$avail$Package[x$avail$Status == "not installed"])
I get the same error if I specify the repositories with getOption:
getOption("repositories")()[[1]]
x <- packageStatus(repositories = getOption("repositories")()[[1]])
upgrade(x, ask = FALSE)
Error in update[, 3] : incorrect number of dimensions However, upgrade behaves if I don't specify "repositories" in packageStatus() things work as expected.
x <- packageStatus() upgrade(x)
I imagine that I am being a dimwit as per usual. Can anybody help? -Andy
