I did manage eventually to reproduce this via
data(package=makecdfenv)
which is a BioC package with a non-standard use of the data directory.
(There are no objects in the single R file in the data directory, which
from its name I suggest is a dummy and the data directory should be
removed entirely. The indexing code fails to handle this correctly.)
I had no difficulty on a system that has almost all CRAN packages
installed.

Hi,
I am using R 2.1.0 on Windows XP and when I type data() to list the
datasets in R, there is a helpful hint to type 'data(package =
.packages(all.available = TRUE))' to see the datasets in all of the
packages -- not just the active ones.
However, when I do this, I get the following message:
data(package = .packages(all.available = TRUE))
Error in rbind(...) : number of columns of matrices must match (see arg 2)
In addition: Warning messages:
1: datasets have been moved from package 'base' to package 'datasets' in:
data(package = .packages(all.available = TRUE))
2: datasets have been moved from package 'stats' to package 'datasets' in:
data(package = .packages(all.available = TRUE))
I possibly have old libraries in my R libraries because I copy them forward
and update them with new versions of R, rather than redownload them. Is
there a way to fix this or do the same another way? (I saw something in
archives about a problem similar to this with .packages(), but I got the
impression it was fixed for 2.1.0)
Thanks,
Elizabeth
