I am expereincing this error when running RDatasets package:

" cannot assign a value to variable Base.sleep from module Main

Stacktrace:  
[1] top-level scope  
@ In[3]:2  
[2] eval  
@ .\boot.jl:373 [inlined]  
[3] include\_string(mapexpr::typeof(REPL.softscope), mod::Module, code::String, filename::String)  
@ Base .\loading.jl:1196  
"

Anyone could hint as to the possible missing action I am not taking ? Thank you.

The error seems unrelated to RDatasets.jl. You are probably trying to assign a value to the `sleep` variable name? The function `Base.sleep` is already defined in Julia and you can’t reassign the name to a variable. Please double check.
