Of course, now I remember why. There is a circular "dependency" loop between Biobase, tkWidgets and widgetTools when running R CMD check. Biobase says it needs tkWidgets, tkWidgets says it needs Biobase. Neither is really true, but I'd rather have Biobase running the check than tkWidgets, so thats how I resolved the loop. Occasionally, it is necessary to resolve this "check dependency loop" by not running check on a package. In those cases, please DOCUMENT in the spec file that the check command is commented out, and explain the loop you're breaking. I whipped up the necessary missing packages here: DynDoc: http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/R-DynDoc-1.14.0-1.fc7.src.rpm http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/R-DynDoc.spec widgetTools: http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/R-widgetTools-1.12.0-1.fc7.src.rpm http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/R-widgetTools.spec tkWidgets: http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/R-tkWidgets-1.14.0-1.fc7.src.rpm http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/R-tkWidgets.spec Pingou, if you'd like to own these packages in Fedora, that is fine by me. If not, I'll put them up for review. ~spot
