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?

Thanks,

Hadley

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.

I see the same problem in MacOSX, but not in Windows.  If I try it with 
none of the dependencies installed, only reshape and proto are added but 
there's a warning about grid, splines and MASS, so I'd guess this is a 
bug related to the fact that RColorBrewer and colorspace are on the 
second line, and there's another bug related to the fact that the others 
are recommended packages.

It seems to be a problem with CRAN:
