I've noticed recently that 'update.packages' and 'install.packages' seem to not
do tilde expansion anymore, i.e. when I run
update.packages("~/R-local/lib")
on R-alpha (r41043) I get the message
/home/rpeng/install/R-alpha/lib64/R/bin/INSTALL: line 304: cd: ~/R-local/lib: No
such file or directory
and the package is subsequently installed in the current working directory.
The attached patch solves the problem for me.
