I understand this. But my package does not require graph >= 1.30. (And if I install the source packages everything is always fine.) The problem is again that R 2.12 installs graph 1.28 but the CRAN packages for R 2.12 are build for graph 1.30. So the default binary packages are incompatible for R 2.12.
