Subject: update.packages()

Dear all,

W.XP

I recently upgraded to R2.10.0 and did what I usually do: copied all
"special" libraries from the old installation and then used
"update.packages()" on the command line. Nothing happened. Then I clicked
on the same command on the droplist which generated
"update.packages(ask='graphics')", but still with no effect.

When I tried to load the "gregmisc" bundle I got error messages telling me
to upgrade the individual packages (like gmodels and gplot).

What has happened and why?
I really liked the automatic scan of my installation followed by semi
automatic installation that used to get triggered by "update.packages()"

Thanks
/CG
