Question

我正在使用R 3.0.2并尝试安装网格包，如下所示：

install.packages("lattice")

这会导致以下错误：

Error : Invalid DESCRIPTION file

Invalid Priority field. Packages with priorities 'base' or 'recommended' or 'defunct-base' must already be known to R.

我该如何解决？

由于DESCRIPTION似乎只包含元信息，我不明白为什么这会妨碍我安装网格包。

更新

我已安装了网格，但由于某些依赖性，需要更新的版本。使用update.packages()进行网格返回与上面相同的错误。我想知道新的晶格版本是否有可能与新的R版本兼容？

看到BondedDust引用的描述我开始研究它，看起来新的包在DESCRIPTION文件中有一个Priority字段，但是格式描述文件的旧版本没有。这为什么重要？

me@tang:~/test_lattice$ grep Priority /home/endrebak/local/anaconda/lib64/R/library/lattice/DESCRIPTION                                                                                    
me@tang:~/test_lattice$ grep Priority lattice/DESCRIPTION #New version
Priority: recommended

我尝试使用Priority: recommended行更新旧的DESCRIPTION文件并重新加载R，但仍然

>rownames(installed.packages(priority="recommended"))
NULL
#rownames(installed.packages(priority="base")) works fine, however.

以下完整错误消息：

我通过升级到R 3.2修复了这个错误。

Answer 2

我通过删除描述文件中的“优先级：推荐”这一行解决了此问题

在R中安装点阵：＆＃34;错误：描述文件无效＆＃34;
