Thank you Jeroen for this report. We (the lme4 authors) apologize for
this inconvenience.
Thank you Simon. Your diagnosis is correct. The test in question
should only run if mlmRev is available. This bug is now fixed in the
development version.
Ben and I just discussed the matter, and we will be submitting a patch
to cran within 24 hours. We would also like to include some other back
compatibility fixes within the patch, but are still deliberating about
which of these to include.

Running update.packages on R 3.1 for Mavericks complains that some

Is there any reason for this,
Yes, only packages that pass make check are present.
or do I just need some patience? I installed lme4 from source and it seems to
build without problems.
It fails make check with

Error in library(mlmRev) : there is no package called 'mlmRev'

However, mlmRev itself depends on lme4, so it's not available. It seems like a
bug in the tests which should not fail if mlmRev is not available since it's
only suggested, not required.
Cheers,
Simon
