What we have works. Making a change risks having to pick up pieces of shrapnel. I don't really have time for that --- I cannot test for every random piece of software being present. But the error was in another package which I do not maintain, so I kindly ask you to either reassign this report, or open a new one. I do not see this as a 'fail' in r-cran.mk.
