This is already fixed in my sources following, I think, an earlier hint by Graham in private email. The current change is also because of the R 4.4.0 release of Matrix 1.7.0; this is not a super-strong dependence but CRAN and the Matrix team decided to have 1.7.0 released after R 4.4.0, and we tagged a small number of packages needing a rebuild with this version of Matrix as they consumed the C API via the headers. The 1.5.0 transition has long been taken care of. As this is now an open bug I will just plug it. Thanks for the report. | Thanks for your work on the R packages. My pleasure! And thanks so much for the kind words. Cheers, Dirk | Regards, | Jörg. -- dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org
