When trying to update (various) packages using update.packages() I get the following error message for various packages
package 'fBasics' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Error in unpackPkg(foundpkgs[okp, 2L], foundpkgs[okp, 1L], lib) :

This happens with other packages besides fBasics (Matrix, as well as others) and I have switched mirrors and the same thing occurs.
Any suggestions?
