Subject: [Rd] R 3.2.4 rc issue
Message-ID: <22233.1636.385295.261603@max.nulle.part>


I generally run 'make; make check' (with more settings) when building the
Debian package.  Running 3.2.4 rc from last night, I see a lot of package
loading issues during 'make check'.  Here is splines as one examples:

checking package 'splines'
* using log directory '/build/r-base-3.2.3.20160303/tests/splines.Rcheck'
* using R version 3.2.4 RC (2016-03-02 r70270)
* using platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
* using session charset: ASCII
* using option '--no-build-vignettes'
* looks like 'splines' is a base package
* skipping installation test
