R devel - Jul 2003 - R CMD check 'package-name' failed

Dear Devel-list member,

by checking a small exemplatory package during the DSC2003 in Vienna I 
encountered the following error message (see attachment). Thomas Lumley has 
suggested to me posting the problem to this list. You help is appreciated.

Cheers,
Bernhard

-  your message is dated  "March 19" but the Received headers seem
   to indicate that it *is* current, i.e. late evening July 15. 

-  you are using an outdated version of R (1.6.2).
   "R CMD check" has been improved since then (even more than once).
   Can you try with the current version 1.7.1
   (or even "R-patched" or "R-devel").

Mit lieben Gr?ssen aus Z?rich,
Martin
