R help - Dec 2008 - Problem with alignDailySwries in R-metrics

Hi Folks!  I seem to be having a problem with alignDailySeries in Rmetrics:

DTB6<-fredSeries("DTB6",frequency = "daily",from =
"1980-01-01")
trying URL '
http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/DTB6/downloaddata/DTB6.txt'
Content type 'text/plain; charset=UTF-8' length 248392 bytes (242 Kb)

class(DTB6)

[1] "timeSeries"
attr(,"package")
[1] "fSeries"

DTB6<-alignDailySeries(DTB6, method = "interp",include.weekends =
FALSE,
units = NULL)
Error in getDataPart(<S4 object of class "timeSeries">) :
  no '.Data' slot defined for class "timeSeries"


What's causing this error?

This means that you are using the old "fSeries" package instead of
its new implementation in the "timeSeries" package. Make sure to
update all your packages.

hope this helps,
