Error Reading Package Index File
in threaded view ♦ ♦ | Report Content as Inappropriate ♦ ♦ yet another update error Hi, After upgrading R I always update installed packages to the new version.

Sorry. Sorry. Had not uninstalled 2.14.2 before installing 2.15.0. > But don't think they are the culprits. :-) I admit.

I guess it's related to the fact that there is a new tcl Version (8.6.2) and R needs to be rebuild against that version. Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2014-10-29 16:21:35 EDT It actually ended up being more nuanced than that. There are two issues at play here: 1) /usr/lib64/R/library/tcltk2 isn't part of core R. It's an addon, probably installed from CRAN, by you at some point when tcl was at 8.5. Then, I'm guessing you updated to f21 and got tcl and tk updated to 8.6, but R doesn't track dependencies on addons, hence, your oddity. Upstream R advises that all addons should be rebuilt everytime anything they depend on changes. Including R. But there's not a g
