[R-pkg-devel] stringi update

Thnaks for the hint, but I have tried several  mirrors and still get the
same trouble:

 > update.packages(ask='graphics',checkBuilt=TRUE)

   There are binary versions available but the source versions are later:
         binary source needs_compilation
stringi  1.1.7  1.2.4              TRUE

Do you want to install from sources the packages which need compilation?
y/n:

Which re-install the same version at each update...

Patrick,

It looks like the CRAN mirror that you are using has not been updated with the binary versions, which are readily available on other mirrors (e.g., https://cran.revolutionanalytics.com).

Since weeks the package stringi stays on the following versions:

y/n: n

However updated,  I am asked to update it again with the same version at any next update of R.

Has somebody an idea about what is happening?
