Matthew had already said that re-installing solved this for him.

See below.

It's your error. You have (version 1.0-3)

.First.lib <- function(lib, pkg) library.dynam("tripack", pkg, lib)

if(version$minor < "62") library.dynam("tripack")

You fail to test for version$major!

That the error message you got is not mentioning the other two arguments
was a useful hint.
