Hello R Community, I inadvertently updated packages via R Studio when a package was open. Now when R Studio is opened the message below appears in the console panel. Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ?yaml? Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ?yaml? When running R code, so far the only function that has not worked is datatable () in the ?DT? package. Removing the ?DT? package and reinstalling it had no effect. A possible fix is to update R from an older version, which was not running when I made the mistake. Is this a good idea? Thanks for your help. James F. Henson

There is a package on CRAN named "yaml". Have your tried installing it?
