[R] R Commander - Time Series

[John Fox]

Dear Billpete002,

This looks to me like it's possibly a bug in RcmdrPlugin.epack -- that is,
you may have done something wrong, but I'd expect in this case that the
timeseries plug=in would intercept the error and return an informative error
message. You might want to correspond directly with the author of the
plug-in package, Erin Hodgess. I'm copying my response to Erin in case she
didn't notice your posting.

Best,
 John
