[R-SIG-Mac] update packages

[Julin Maloof]

Hello,

R 2.3.1
OSX 10.4.6 (G5 PPC)
GUI Version 1.16 (3217)

Two minor problems updating packages in 2.3.1

1) clicking on the magnifying glass in the package installer give the option to show 2.1.1 packages, not 2.2.1 (see old post below).  Seems like it should point to the most recently installed version.

2) selecting the "upgrade all" button results in the following error:

Error in update.packages(lib = ""/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/"",  :
    object "Library" not found

Of course typing the update.packages command while leaving out the double works fine.  Don't know where the double quotes are coming from; has anyone else seen this?

(The "install selected" button works normally.)  

Cheers,

Julin
