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

[Kevin Ushey]

Issues of this sort typically occur if a package is updated or
reinstalled while it is already loaded. See also:
https://bugs.r-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16644

The simplest resolution is to restart R after installing a package.

Best,
Kevin
