Yes these two are related, but the e-mail subject is wrong:
It's *your* fault because you must have unpacked the new version
on top of an older one.
The official alpha version (Snapshots from here, or rsync) do
not have your problem:
Before a few days ago, there were files
src/library/base/R/var.R
src/library/base/R/cov.R
the newer R-alpha do not have them -- and if you use the old
files where you shouldn't --> you get the problem.
