In R2.4.0 when I select Set Repositories from the menu I get
> setRepositories()
Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, :
more columns than column names
The reposotories file is as installed.

In R2.3.1 it works fine.
On checking the code for setRepositories in 2.3.1 and 2.4.0, it is identical.
With Identical repositories files I still get the error in 2.4.0.
If I insert comment.char="#" in the read.table line 2.4.0 code works. See copy
of screen output below:
> p <- file.path(R.home("etc"), "repositories")
> p
[1] "C:\\R\\R-2.4.0/etc/repositories"
> a <- read.delim(p, header = TRUE, colClasses = c(rep("character",3),
rep("logical", 4)))
Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, :
more columns than column names
> a <- read.delim(p, header = TRUE, colClasses = c(rep("character",3),
rep("logical", 4)),comment.char="#")

Did I hear that there was a bug in read.table in R2.4.0?
Is this comment.char parameter the correct solution?
cheers,
