Warnings for countreg package installation and zeroinfl function

Hello all,

I've been using the countreg package to fit a zero-inflated negative binomial model successfully up until yesterday. I'm a newbie to R and so I'm sure I've done something silly to goof this up, I just cannot figure out what.

I've been using the "zeroinfl" function successfully for the model below but now I get the following warning message (and I have not knowingly changed the code in the model, or the data it's based on):

lag.all.zinb = zeroinfl(fox ~ coy_7 + area + factor(site) + month,
                        data = foxl,
                        dist = "negbin")
Warning message:In value[[3L]](cond):system is computationally singular:reciprocal condition number = 2.3445e-35FALSE

I tried redownloading countreg and am getting the following series of warnings during the installation that I do not think I got when I first downloaded the package. I'm wondering if these warnings point to the problem that's leading to the "system is computationally singular" message when I tried to run the model. How can I address the installation warnings that say the file links in various packages do not exist and are being treated as topics?

Any help is much appreciated!

The installation warnings are unrelated to your issue, they are only informing you that the binaries for those packages have been compiled with a slightly different R version than the one you are using, if you want them to go away, update your R version.
