[Rd] update.packages() and parse(text="A B") (PR#966)

[ligges@statistik.uni-dortmund.de]

Hi!

I just used the following command on our NT-Server:

  update.packages()
Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : parse error

The problem is caused by the package gregmisc:

  x <- CRAN.packages()
  x[which(x == "gregmisc"),]

   Package    Version   Priority     Bundle    Depends 
"gregmisc"    "0.1.3"       "NA"       "NA"       "R " 


The error occurs in the line

  z[k] <- eval(parse(text = comptext))

in package.dependencies(), because in this case is:

  comptext
[1] "\"1.2.3\"  \"R \""


Best regards,
Uwe Ligges
