R help - Aug 2000 - Problems in the new version with sgeostat library?

Hello, R-users!

When I load the sgeostat library I obtain some warnings messages.
>library(sgeostat)
What kind of problem will I expect to have with these messages?

Loading required package: mva
Loading required package: tripack
Warning messages:
1: `provide' is deprecated.
See ?Deprecated. in: .Deprecated()
2: `provide' is deprecated.
See ?Deprecated. in: .Deprecated()

Thank you very much for your help!

Probably none. The purpose of provide() was to allow one package to subsume
or masquerade as another.  It seems only to have been used incorrectly
for a package to provide itself, which just slowed down searches.  You
will find the lines

provide(tripack)
provide(sgeostat)

in tripack/R/zzz.R and sgeostat/R/est.variogram.R.  Just delete them
and re-install, or edit them out of tripack/R/tripack and
sgeostat/R/sgeostat if you have a pre-compiled version.

If you find any other occurrences, please report them to the package
authors. (We already have for locfit.)
