I have just upgraded from 2.9.2 to 2.10.1 on my XP machine.

I rec'd the following error message:

Error in strsplit(x[ok], "[.-]") :
  5 arguments passed to .Internal(strsplit) which requires 6

I also tried update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE, ask = FALSE)
Error: could not find function "update.packages"

Has anyone else experienced this - what is the fix ?

Thanks in advance.

The fix is not to mix up base packages for old versions of R that you 
have in some library in your search path with a new version of R.
