[Rd] R 2.0.0: problem: installing --with-package-versions

[Matthias Burger]

Hello R developers,
installing R 2.0.0 from source on a Linux Debian system (gcc 3.2.2)
 - which worked just fine - I encountered the following problem when trying to
update/install packages with the option --with-package-versions:
example: RUnit 0.4.0 (also on CRAN)
R20 CMD INSTALL -l /mnt/local/R/R-2.0.x-libs-EpiR --with-package-versions 
RUnit_0.4.0.tar.gz

or after untaring
R20 CMD INSTALL -l /mnt/local/R/R-2.0.x-libs-EpiR --with-package-versions RUnit
I get
* Installing *source* package 'RUnit' as 'RUnit_0.4.0' ...
** R
** inst
** save image
Error in loadNamespace(package, lib.loc, keep.source, TRUE, TRUE) :
        package 'RUnit' does not have a name space
Execution halted
ERROR: execution of package source for 'RUnit' failed
This happens only with the --with-package-versions option.
I scanned the manual and ?INSTALL but did not find mention of this behaviour.
Any suggestion what I have overlooked or how to cure the failure?
Regards,
  Matthias
