Hi,
install.packages() seems to be broken in latest R-devel snapshot
(2010-07-19 r52561) if you are using an
R/R.version$platform-library/x.y directory.
> .libPaths()
[1] "/home/hpages/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/2.12"
[2] "/home/hpages/R-2.12/library"
> install.packages("car")
Error in sprintf(gettext(fmt, domain = domain), ...) : too few arguments
Looks like the problem is in these lines (lines 194-197 in
file src/library/utils/R/packages2.R):
lib <- .libPaths()[1L]
if (length(.libPaths()) > 1L)
message(gettextf("Installing package(s) into %s\n(as %s is
unspecified)",
sQuote(lib)), domain = NA)
Cheers,
H.
