I'm updating packages by $ sudo R --vanilla ..... > update.packages()
when I (finally) get the error message: Error in unloadNamespace(pkg_name) : name space 'survival' is still used by: 'eha' * removing '/usr/local/lib64/R/library/survival' * restoring previous '/usr/local/lib64/R/library/survival' --------- I have never seen this before. I guess that R at start-up has read my personal .Rprofile and it seems to be the case: when I remove it, install.packages() works as expected. According to my understanding, the --vanilla flag should make R ignore .Rprofile, so what have I missed?
