SP 1.0-12 install error
I ran into trouble because I needed to add Rgdal (someone had forgotten to install it) to an existing 2.15 server and it wanted sp newer than 1.0 but I had 0.9.x. Upgrading this particular machine to 3 was too risky and would involve verifying all the other running packages could be upgraded. For many of my machines I do track the CRAN debs for R updates but not on deployed servers where an accidental upgrade could break R web services that are running or long standing analysis code being used by researchers. So yes it would be good if I had gotten the warning in R or saw it in some news or changelog somewhere. I don't think there's any particular need to revert as long as people are aware of the issue and the way to work around it. Thanks, Alex

Thanks, you are right, sp 1.0-12 depends on R 3.0.0 but claims it doesn't. Ubuntu users are very well served by binary updates of R releases, see for instance http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ If the list considers this as an annoyance, let me know, it's not a big deal to convert back to pre 3.0.0 syntax (for some time).

I was getting an error today installing/upgrading sp.

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, using a different mirror, doing it system-wide vs just for my user etc... Then I noticed that 1.0-12 was released only a few days ago, so I downloaded the archived version of 1.0-11 and the install works. http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/sp/
R is 2.15.3 on Ubuntu 12.04
Is there a bug in the package or does the new sp require R>3?
Thanks, Alex
