Sorry prof Ripley, but this is the same version as the one on CRAN (I am 
the developper)... Actually Kurt Hornik tried it and it went through 
with his debian yesterday (after some troubles -solved- about encoding 
and the new R 6.7.0), Uwe Ligges sent me an automated  message telling 
that it has also been built under Windows successfully (as it was under 
my own Windows version). I have also checked that PermTest was in the 
package. So I suppose that it has something to do with Ubuntu... but 
don't know how to debug this...
