Dear Users,

I downloaded the new R and before I update the packages from Cran I receive 
the following message?:
Delete downloaded files (y/N)? y

updating HTML package descriptions
Warning message:
error -1 in extracting from zip file

What's wrong?

Thanks
Rick

different problems ...

The error message is defined in dounzip.c and in your caase used in R by
zip.unpack() which is used by install.packages() which itself is used by
update.packages().

I'd suggest:
- Download the package again
- try do.unzip(packagename, librarypath) again

Now it would be useful to know some details on your OS (and version of
R, of course), because one could know whether your system supports
unzip. In that case you could set it in options(), if the R internal
unzip doesn't work.

Like Uwe rightly pointed out I didn't tell that I using R 1.5 for Window.
