Are you telling me that foreign is *generating* an error message of "Bus error", on exactly those two Debian architectures that are prone to bus errors due to 64-bit reads from 32-bit-aligned addresses, but that no bus error is taking place in the actual software? > A fuller 'R CMD check foreign' run eg here looks like: > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/debian/CRAN> R CMD check foreign > * checking for working latex ...

Now, as for cdbs, that I call a > panic... Right, which tells me that the package succeeded at running some examples or other, and then *fails* due to a software bug when running its regression tests. It sounds to me like you're saying you want to ignore a known regression; I don't understand why. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
