In the Windows GUI, choosing the Packages Menu, then Install and then 
clicking on Cancel gives an error message saying that nothing was specified
to be installed:

> utils:::menuInstallPkgs()
Error in install.packages(NULL, .libPaths()[1], dependencies = TRUE, type =
type) : 
        no packages were specified

however, its not erroneous -- we intended not to install anything.  That
is why we pressed Cancel.

This was discussed on r-devel.  See:
