R devel - May 2015 - That 'make check-all' problem with the survival package

'make check-all' for current R has been showing this error in the middle
for a few months now - any thought on fixing this? I think cmprsk
should be either included in the recommended bundle, or
the survival vignette to not depend on it. Having 'make check-all'
showing
glaring ERROR's for a few months seems to defeat the purpose of
doing any checking at all via 'make check-all'.

FWIW, I did look at when/how the issue was introduced, but it appeared
that svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/survival is no longer being
updated, and git://github.com/cran/survival.git only shows release jumps.
Anyway, if first appears with survival 2.38-1 in February, and as the previous
2.37-7 was 13 months older, this info is of no use to anybody.
I didn't write earlier as I thought the issue would go away at some point;
but obviously this isn't the case after 3 months.

Not sure why this goes to R-devel. You just could have asked the 
maintainer. Terry Therneau is aware of it and promised he will fix it.

Best,
