[R-sig-Debian] Warnings

[Gorjanc Gregor]

Hi

I get the following warings on my ubuntu (gutsy) machine

> library(matrix)
> data.frame(x=1:5, z=5)[1:5, ]
  x z
1 1 5
2 2 5
3 3 5
4 4 5
5 5 5
Warning message:
':::' is deprecated.
'methods' is deprecated.
'seemsS4Object' is deprecated.
Use 'isS4' instead.
See help("Deprecated")

It is quite annoying since I often subset the data.frames. Will these warnings disapear
if I upgrade the Matrix package - I will have to install the package from the source and
not from the Ubuntu repository.
