Dear Katherine,
To complicate things: whereas I was able to reproduce the problem many
times yesterday, also after restarting my computer several times and
with R 2.5.1, R 2.6.0 and R 2.6.1, the package builds and checks
_completely without errors or warnings_ and installs without the strange
message today. And I did not change _a single thing_ to the package in
between. It's a bit of a bewildering experience :-{ but at least it
solves my immediate problem :-).
I've uploaded the package to CRAN incoming (penalized_0.9-17.tar.gz),
should you still want to have a look.
My apologies for bothering you with a semi-reproducible (?!) problem.
Jelle
