Maybe I missed an announcement somewhere but having started with the usual practice of putting R pre-releases into Debian unstable leading up to the release of the next R version, I now find myself unable to do my daily package maintenance as I only see VR 7.2-49 with its Depends: R (? 2.5.0), R (? 2.9.2) preventing use on R 2.10.0. That stopped the update of the Debian package r-cran-effects (which wants MASS) in its tracks. I see the somewhat hidden MASS 7.3-0 and 7.3-1 in http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/MASS/ so should I be using these? Along with the other components of VR ?
Yes, see this news item:
o Bundles of packages are deprecated. See 'Writing R
Extensions' for the steps needed to unbundle a bundle.
The VR bundle contained packages class, MASS, nnet, and spatial, which
are now separate recommended packages, whose source is included in the R
source tarball, or on CRAN in
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/2.10.0/Recommended/
