default installation from CRAN not working #44

Closed danmsf closed 7 years ago

danmsf commented 7 years ago

Hi, Im running R with these settings using Windows7 64 bit through Rstudio Version 1.0.143 :

R version 3.4.0 (2017-04-21) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) Running under: Windows 7 x64 (build 7601) Service Pack 1

I tried installing BH - and it failed with the error: expected download length != download length

[as a side note: For whatever reason after that failure that seems to have messed up my default connection with CRAN so further install.packages() returned an error of : missing where expected TRUE or FALSE ... and only after restarting my Windows session did that go away.]

I tried manually downloading the default current version download from CRAN and wasn't able to download it (error...). { r-release: BH_1.62.0-1.zip}

In the end I downloaded the older release and that solved my problems. {r-oldrel: BH_1.62.0-1.zip}

I see they are the same version number so I dont know what the difference is, I can only guess my mirror version of that file is somehow not good...

1) Please see #43 2) Your problems are with binaries provided at CRAN so maybe talk to CRAN

Thanks that was really fast! Yeah I figured that. And just took a different version, but I'm guessing you'll get a few more like me until the binaries are fixed. I'll try and let them know

I just downloaded the r-devel and r-release version from the normal mirror listed first -- and globally distributed hence 'fastest' at https://cloud.r-project.org/web/packages/BH/index.html -- and both are identical (based in md5sum) and both list (unzip -l) fine.

So I am closing this as it is not an issue with CRAN version, Maybe the mirror you used was corrupted. maybe your network got in the way.
