[Rd] CRAN indices out of whack (for at least macOS)

[Simon Urbanek]

Dirk,

yes, thanks, the edge server that serves the Mac binaries to CRAN has run out of disk space (due to size of CRAN itself) so the sync was incomplete.
It is fixed now -- you can try by using the macos master server as mirror: https://r.research.att.com/ and it will propagate through other mirrors as usual.

Thanks,
Simon
