[R-pkg-devel] Getting error: Installation failed: Unknown username with my package

[R. Mark Sharp]

Gabor,

You were exactly right. I do not think I would have caught that at all.

I had been going down the wrong path of thinking “Unknown username” was referring to the way I was referring to my own package.

I am very grateful, but I must add that I got more enjoyment out of Duncan’s quip.
