[R-sig-Debian] KernSmooth not loading in R 2.7.2

[Michael Rutter]

Jeff,

Found the problem.  We needed to rebuild KernSmooth against the new 
version of R (2.7.2), which uses the blas libraries.  I have uploaded 
the new package, but it could take a few hours before it hits the mirrors.

If you need the new package ASAP, I can send it via email.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
Michael
