[R-sig-Geo] readOGR ceased working since updating to R 2.15.2

[Alonso Nanclares, Jesús Alberto]

Hello dear list,

I have a problem with the function readOGR since I installed the last version of R, 2.15.2 and, consequently, had to install rgdal package again. I am using a script I ran just a moment before the update, when it worked perfectly, in which my intention is to read a shapefile. The command looks like this:

secciones_espanya <- readOGR("INE_SPAIN.shp", "INE_SPAIN")

And when I execute it I am showed this error:

Error en file(paste(dsn, .Platform$file.sep, layer, ".dbf", sep = ""),  :
  no se puede abrir la conexión
Además: Mensajes de aviso perdidos
In file(paste(dsn, .Platform$file.sep, layer, ".dbf", sep = ""),  :
  no fue posible abrir el archivo 'INE_SPAIN.shp/INE_SPAIN.dbf': No such file or directory

saying the connection could not be open.

I have tried with other .shp of my PC that could also be read without problems before the update with the same results.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks in advance and greetings,
