Hi, After upgrading R I always update installed packages to the new version. This time an error I have never seen or heard of appeared: thousands, perhaps millions of lines like the ones below. --------------8><-------------- error reading package index file /usr/local/lib/R/library/tcltk2/tklibs/datefield0.2/pkgIndex.tcl: too many nested evaluations (infinite loop?) error reading package index file /usr/local/lib/R/library/tcltk2/tklibs/tooltip1.4/pkgIndex.tcl: too many nested evaluations (infinite loop?) error reading package index file /usr/local/lib/R/library/tcltk2/tklibs/ttktheme_plastik/pkgIndex.tcl: too many nested evaluations (infinite loop?) error reading package index file /usr/local/lib/R/library/tcltk2/tklibs/ttktheme_keramik/pkgIndex.tcl: too many nested evaluations (infinite loop?) error reading package index file /usr/local/lib/R/library/tcltk2/tklibs/getstring0.1/pkgIndex.tcl: too many nested evaluations (infinite loop?) --------------8><-------------- Left the process running during almost four hours and not only never returned but also had to be explcitly killed (ctrl-c won't do the job). Attached here the scripts I use to perform all upgrades and updates unattended as cron jobs. But don't think they are the culprits. :-) Thanks.
