Dear all,
When one tries to load a non-installed package you get the error:
Error in library(xyz) : there is no package called 'xyz'
I noticed on several occasions that this puzzles beginners. Therefore I suggest
to change the error description in:
Error in library(xyz) : there is no package
This doesn't seem important enough to create a bug report.
Apply to http://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/grDevices/man/hcl.Rd
Cheers,
Manuel.

Thierry,
I agree with you and think that computers _should_ help users.
When R tells me a package does not exist, it is almost never because I
typed an incorrect package name.
Almost always it is because:
(1) I am using an old script with a new version of R and have not yet
installed a package.
