[adegenet-forum] problems loading adegenet

Hi All,
I have read the posts and followed the advice surrounding the problems 
with loading the adegenet package. But I am still getting the familiar 
error:
Error in as.environment(pos) :
   no item called "newtable" on the search list
In addition: Warning message:
In objects(newtable, all.names = TRUE) :
   'newtable' converted to character string
Error in as.environment(pos) :
   no item called "newtable" on the search list
In addition: Warning message:
In objects(newtable, all.names = TRUE) :
   'newtable' converted to character string

Now adegenet was working fine on my R 2.12.2. Then I (stupidly?) updated 
all my packages. All of a sudden - this error pops up. I tracked it down 
to the MASS package - this now requires a minimum R version of R 2.13 
(wowsers, that sure was fast).
I downloaded R 2.13 (over my very slow internet) - and installed 
MASS_7.3-13.zip and adegenet_1.2-8.zip while running R 2.13 with 
administrator privileges (#$I*^# Vista) - and I still get the above error.

So, I think there may be problems for any new users trying to install 
adegenet. If you are using R 2.12, I suggest you don't update your MASS 
package anytime soon.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Alastair
