There is an update to VR_7.0-9 on CRAN, which you may want to ensure you have if you are beta-testing 1.6.1. The only changes are in the scripts, working around changes in lattice, mclust, nlme (where the examples stopped working on Linux, only, for me a few months ago) and yags. We do seem to be getting a lot of API changes in packages, usually unannounced, and that makes update.packages() a very dangerous tool. -- Brian D.
