Thanks for the pointer!
Hmmm, thought I did so after the release, but apparently not (most 
outdated builds are from 2005-09-11, hence a version of R-2.2.0 alpha).

eha has been rebuild now and will appear on CRAN master within 24 hours.

I will trigger rebuilds for the other packages as well, but it will take 
its time (don't expect any change on CRAN within 24 hours).

Nice occasion: Package mainatiner of failing packages will receive (yet 
another) message that some action is required ...
