What to do about "Error: package XX was built before R 3.0.0"

I'm getting a lot of errors like this one, sounds like r-travis isn't using the most recent cran mirrors for the distribution or something?

** preparing package for lazy loading
Error : package ‘lattice’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘sp’

See the full travis report here (linked to one of the lines with this error)

https://travis-ci.org/ropensci/RNeXML/builds/20305589#L1278

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or how to work around this?

hi carl,

so i think the problem is just an order of evaluation one: i think you're asking it to install the lattice package before the bootstrap call. that bootstrap call is the one that sets up the appropriate mirrors and PPAs to get fresh R binaries.

  • if my guess is right, you should be able to add back rrdf to the Suggests, and move the bootstrap call up in your .travis.yml and still have things work. do let me know if you get a chance to try (or i'll try if i get time soon).
  • if that is the right thing to do, we should also probably force an upgrade of all packages once we add our new apt repos in bootstrap.

ok @cboettig, i think the ordering thing was the issue -- i've sent a pull request with some changes. to be clear, i have basically no idea what RNeXML is supposed to be doing, so if any/all of the changes outside .travis.yml are misguided, i'm happy to modify or strip them out. ;)
