Dear all,

Thanks for all responses and recommendations!

My installation returns the same as reported by Karl Schilling; that is onl=
y 1 library path on "C:/Program Files/..."

Based on everything I have read I believe the behavior I reported is due to=
 the 'Last modified' / .builtData that apparently changes on the repository=
 every day, although the version numbers of packages are not changed (as re=
ported by Jinsong and Dirk).

Obviously, this is something that I cannot solve, but I am happy I understa=
nd the root of the cause.

Thanks,
Guido

PS: since I only receive the 'Daily Digest' of the R mailing list, I hope m=
y mail will be properly placed in the archive. And this also the reason I a=
bove included URLs to earlier responses.
