[R-SIG-Mac] error when installing the robustbase package (robustbase.rdb is corrupt)

[Duncan Murdoch]

I would simplify things, and leave RStudio out of the process.  Start 
R.app, and run

   install.packages("robustbase")
   library(robustbase)

and let us know what happens.  I just ran those commands in MacOS 
Monterey and R 4.3.1, and saw this:

 > install.packages("robustbase")
trying URL 
'https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/big-sur-x86_64/contrib/4.3/robustbase_0.99-2.tgz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 3221520 bytes (3.1 MB)
==================================================
downloaded 3.1 MB


The downloaded binary packages are in
	/var/folders/d6/s97fjjxd3_9353x_lwb692100000gn/T//RtmptD64D6/downloaded_packages
 > library(robustbase)
Warning message:
package ‘robustbase’ was built under R version 4.3.2

so it worked with just a warning because I'm using an old version of R.
