Hi,
I use Rcmdr for a lot of data analysis, but within the last month my
computer had just shut down. It took a couple of days to get it up and
running, but then R and Rstudio wouldn't load. I had to reinstall it but
now whenever I try to access Rcmdr I get an error message.
Loading required package: splines
Loading required package: RcmdrMisc
Loading required package: car
Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck
= vI[[j]]) :
  there is no package called ?pbkrtest?
Error: package ?car? could not be loaded

When I use the package manager/installer in the R console and try to load
car it won't load either.

Yes, that's annoying. I'm 99% sure that the root cause is that pbkrtest got upgraded and the new version depends on R >= 3.2.3. Since Rcmdr depends on car which imports pbkrtest, you get in trouble if your R is not at least at 3.2.3. The easiest way out is probably to upgrade R.
