good idea.  doing that reveals the following.  dirk, most of this is for
your reference as a repackager, so that you know what dependencies will
have to be met for useful debian packages.  :)  there are also some
problems that become evident with the packages...

1) fBasics requires package "date"

after i fixed the date package dependency, i get this error from R check:

Running examples in fBasics-Ex.R failed.
The error most likely occurred in:

> ### * B1-ghypDistribution
>
> flush(stderr()); flush(stdout())



2) fExtremes requires packages "evd" and "ismev"

after fixing those two dependencies, R CMD check produces the following
output:

* checking S3 generic/method consistency ... WARNING
Error in .tryQuietly({ : Error in library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc,
character.only = TRUE, verbose = FALSE) :

3) fOptions documentation needs work?

4) fSeries:

Packages required but not available:
  mda polspline


fixed these dependencies on my local system - no biggie - then from R
CMD check got:

methinks that some things may not be quite right just yet - even though
the builds of individual packages complete successfully.

Diethelm, consider this an extended bug report...  :)

hooray!  i'm sure many people are glad to hear this.

it looks like the emergent issues may be the same across the four
packages.  perhaps Diethelm has thoughts?

thanks,
