As of today's commit r72375 all packages with native-routine registration of C or Fortran routines need to be reinstalled in R-devel (and that include some of the recommended packages in R itself which will not be reinstalled via make dependencies, so we advise a clean rebuild of R). We try to avoid such things, but now is a least bad time (before binary packages for pre-3.4.0 are built
