I believe R-nws is also wrong, but the page on the cran is not been updated since 1.7.0.0.
Well, its an odd situation. There is a newer R-nws, but it depends on code that Revolution Computing didn't ever properly release. Ubuntu has copies of the deps, but I don't think they're built from source, and I couldn't find upstream locations for them.
I put in a query a few months ago and heard back from Danese Cooper at Revolution Computing, who was going to find the sources and get them to me so I could properly package up the new dependencies, but she was fired before it got any farther, and she informed me that they were backing away from their open source strategies and would not be making the source available.
The whole deal left a very bad taste in my mouth, so I'm content to leave R-nws where it is.
