Error in loadNamespace

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.

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