R devel - Apr 2003 - 'Apparently' trouble with name spaces and Sweave...

Ben Bolstad experienced something odd while running R CMD check over
a package of ours using r-devel (yesterday's fresh).
He tracked down the problem to a vignette calling 'library(MASS)'.

Please kindly ignore if this is a known (and temporary) issue.

I am getting this error when doing a R CMD build --force on affy

I am using an updated R-devel rsync'ed this morning and I am using the
latest MASS package (which was my first thought). I am not having
problems building other packages.

Any thoughts?

It is not a known issue, but we have no idea how to reproduce this from
your message.  My guess is that your build of MASS is faulty, as you seem
to be missing all the data files.  Does library(MASS) on its own work?  
Did you do `make check-all' on your build?

Why did you clog the list with this three times, including full email
headers which are of no interest to us?
