Can you check from within R running rupdate() and traceback()?

ok. I might have to write a try then? Is mgcv installed in a weird way? Did something bad happen during the installation of mgcv? Reinstalling mgcv will likely resolve this issue but is obiously not the final solution if such a problem occurs more often.

Didn't do anything to mgcv. Can be loaded without problems. Reinstalling did not help.

Let's debug local?
