[R] 00LOCK error with site-library

[Mark W Kimpel]

Paul,

Yes, I have manually removed it multiple times and it continues to 
reappear. I'll try to just upgrade a few packages at a time and see if 
there is one in particular that is causing the problem. Failing that, 
I'll run this past my system admin.

Thanks for your help,
Mark
