Hi Edwin, hi Dirk, hi all, thanks for tracking it down - the r-cran-class package simply did not build over here because of a missing build dependency on r-cran-mass (my build system with pbuilder is picky with this).
The packages are on their way to CRAN now. Dirk - don't you need this build dependency in your r-cran-class package? I wonder why the package builds at your end but not at mine without intervention.
