[Rd] {splines} package gone missing?

[Randall Pruim]

Thanks.  I actually sort of checked for this:


row.names(installed.packages(priority = "base"))
 [1] "base"      "compiler"  "datasets"  "graphics"  "grDevices" "grid"      "methods"   "parallel"  "stats"     "stats4"    "tcltk"
[12] "tools"     "utils"

But, of course, if the package is missing on my system (a newly installed 4.1 on an RStudio server), then it won’t be listed here.

I’ll have to figure out what went wrong with the install.  I’ll probably start by having our sysadmin simply reinstall R 4.1 and hope that that takes care of the problem.

Looks like profile is missing as well.

It is part of base R, so comes with the R sources:

Peters-MacBook-Air:R pd$ ls src/library/
Makefile.in   compiler/     grid/         splines/      tools/
Makefile.win<http://Makefile.win>  datasets/     methods/      stats/        translations/
Recommended/  grDevices/    parallel/     stats4/       utils/
base/         graphics/     profile/      tcltk/

If I follow the link there to the archives, the newest version shown is from 1999.  It seems like something has gone wrong with this package.

I checked on another mirror and {splines} is missing there as well.
