Hi,

I'm having trouble updating packages. Scenario is I've selected  
Package Installer with CRAN (binaries), a single package, then  
'Install Selected' and I get the following error.

trying URL 'http://cran.au.r-project.org/bin/macosx/universal/contrib/2.6/fSeries_260.72.tgz'
Content type 'application/x-tar' length 164519 bytes (160 Kb)
opened URL
==================================================
downloaded 160 Kb


  *** caught bus error ***
address 0x20, cause 'non-existent physical address'

Traceback:
  1: unlink(instPath, recursive = TRUE)
  2: unpackPkg(foundpkgs[okp, 2], foundpkgs[okp, 1], lib,  
installWithVers)
  3: .install.macbinary(pkgs = pkgs, lib = lib, contriburl =  
contriburl,     method = method, available = available, destdir =  
destdir,     installWithVers = installWithVers, dependencies =  
dependencies)
  4: install.packages(c("fSeries"), lib = "/Library/Frameworks/ 
R.framework/Resources/library/",     contriburl =  
contrib.url(getOption("repos"), "mac.binary"),     type =  
"mac.binary", dependencies = TRUE)

Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace

I have tried other mirrors and also 'Update All'

Ken,

can you, please, tell us exactly what machine are you using? I'm not  
able to reproduce it so far.. Please always post at least the output  
of sessionInfo().
Even more helpful would be the crash report (either accessible  
directly after the crash or see Console in Utilities).

Thanks,
Simon

Hi Simon,

Sorry, post-Christmas effect. I thought I had installed 2.6.1 but  
hadn't. Installing it fixed the problem, which I think occurred when a  
dependency wasn't installed.
