I got this message while using a dplyr mutate call:
Error in get0(oNam, envir = ns) :
lazy-load database
'/home/hrapgc/local/R-3.5.1/library/pkgconfig/R/pkgconfig.rdb' is corrupt
I had only just installed R-3.5.1 and updated the packages (using the
function update.packages with the checkBuild parameter to TRUE) in the
library I use with that version. So, I checked the size of
pkgconfig.rdb with the previous version from the bash prompt:
> ll `locate pkgconfig.rdb`
-rw-r--r-- 1 hrapgc hrapgc 5335 May 8 14:06
/home/hrapgc/local/R-3.5.0/library/pkgconfig/help/pkgconfig.rdb
-rw-r--r-- 1 hrapgc hrapgc 15669 May 8 14:06
/home/hrapgc/local/R-3.5.0/library/pkgconfig/R/pkgconfig.rdb
-rw-r--r-- 1 hrapgc hrapgc 5359 Oct 31 16:12
/home/hrapgc/local/R-3.5.1/library/pkgconfig/help/pkgconfig.rdb
-rw-r--r-- 1 hrapgc hrapgc 4367 Oct 31 16:12
/home/hrapgc/local/R-3.5.1/library/pkgconfig/R/pkgconfig.rdb
While the pkgconfig.rdb filesize in the help directory is nearly
identical in size to that in R-3.5.0 (and previous versions) the one
in the R directory is very much smaller. So the error message
probably makes sense.
The question is: how could that have happened? I removed the package
and reinstalled it, but that made no difference. Is this documented
anywhere?
TIA
