Hi, since a couple of days ago I see failures when using R CMD INSTALL -l lib path-to-src/pkg.tar.gz
This occurs in automated library updating via a shell script and is caused by the immediate preceding call to leave an 00LOCK folder even though the package installation of that call succeeded. This occurs at random (no obvious/systematic correlation to package name or or such) and only for packages where an earlier version has been installed into the same library location. e.g. ~/R/hardy$ R-2.9.0/bin/R CMD INSTALL -l R-2.9.x-libs R-2.9.x-libsSrc/CRAN/feature_1.2.3.tar.gz ... ** building package indices ... * DONE (feature) but ~/R/hardy$ ls -al R-2.9.x-libs/00LOCK/feature/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 XXX epiR 39 Mar 27 05:56 feature -> /mnt/local/R/hardy/R-2.9.x-libs/feature/ ?INSTALL tells me of a workaround via --unsafe or --no-lock but I would prefer to use the default incantation. Any insights what the cause could be?
