Hi,

I encountered the same problem while working with demography package: as a result of the mortlity.org update on 16/06, the hmd.mx function does not work properly anymore. Did you manage to solve the issue?
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Vito,

I managed a work around. I downloaded the data in txt from mortality.org, read into R the usual way and create a demogdata object.

Hope this helps
Regards
