Installing dependent packages

Hi all,
When installing ggplot2 on with install.packages("ggplot2", dep = T),
the colorspace dependency doesn't get installed (see below for
transcript from R session). The relevant lines from my description
file are:
Depends: R (>= 2.4), grid, reshape (>= 0.8.0), proto, splines, MASS,
RColorBrewer, colorspace
Suggests: quantreg, Hmisc, mapproj, maps
Have I done something wrong? Or is this a bug in the installation of
dependent packages?
You need to start continuation lines with whitespace, but possibly your mailer wrapped this. (For readability I would wrap it in the DESCRIPTION file.) I tried in a vanilla session on Linux and colorspace was installed. Was this a vanilla session? Does it work with type="source"? It would be helpful if you could debug this as probably no one else can: the code has been in use for a long time without any reported problems.
Thanks, Hadley
