[Rd] packages update and error: no package called 'lattice',Error: package 'Hmisc could not be loaded; Tinn-R

[Patrick Giraudoux]

  Dear all,

Since some months after updating packages via 
update.packages(ask='graphics'), sometimes I loose 'lattice', although 
already installed. At R restart, I get:

Error in loadNamespace(i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths())) :
   there is no package called 'lattice'
Error: package 'Hmisc' could not be loaded

In this case I must re-install 'lattice' and all comes back to normal 
thenafter

Here, for updating, R is started first (without Tinn-R) but  the script 
here below is in Rprofile.site (Tinn-R is the editor in standard usage).

I long hesitated to send this post before finding out when exactly 
'lattice' is removed during (or before) the update. But eventually, I am 
still messing on that.

Has anybody an idea about what may happen ?

Patrick
