Update today broke foreign package (PR#13533)
foregin_0.8-32 was testsd aginst 2.8.1 prior to release, and I've just tested it again. This might be a locale issue (but I also tested in a latin1 and C locale), but I think it is specific to some files. So can we have both the output of sessionInfo() and a file that causes the problem (it appears not to be one of the test files in the 'tests' subdirectory), and I'll investigate further.

Hi, I'm running R 2.8.1 on Ubuntu, and today I got updates for a couple of packages, including foreign (r-cran-foreign, now at version 0.8.32). Subsequent to the upgrade, attempts to invoke read.spss produce the following error: Error in inherits(x, "factor") : object "cp" not found and the call to read.spss fails. I forced a downgrade to 0.8.26, and read.spss works again. Cheers, Paul Rubin
