Even more:
R cannot be working at all without the base package. It's not a
package you can be without, ever.
So indeed, the error message maybe a teeny tiny tad misleading.
But to reiterate: It's only the broken state of your R,
not at all R 3.1.1 with this problem.
Please do note that we have tens of thousands of tests that must
have run without fault before R is released. Calling citation()
and >= 99% of all other base R functions is among these quality
assurance tests of an R release.
