I just noticed that many sid packages have now been rebuilt against R 3.0.0. Kudos to Dirk and the team! However, I don't understand how this works for packages that have an upstream Depends on R < 3.0.0. One of these is nlme, and yet r-cran-nlme has been rebuilt against R 3.0.0, even though it fails to load in this latest R with: R> library(nlme) Error: package ‘nlme’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it What am I missing?
