It clearly did not install (r-cran-)colorspace even though it is a
dependency. Now I am confused about it worked here in October.  From my
(local) build log:

It must have gotten pulled in by another package, which now longer depends on
it. It is clearly a bug on my end as I should have a (Build-)Depends on it
but do not.  Will add one now.

Cheers, Dirk

| About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines from AWS,

| If you cannot reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I

| fully reproducible.
| 
| If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
| reassign and add an affects on src:hmisc, so that this is still
| visible in the BTS web page for this package.
| 
| Thanks.
