| Dear Dirk Eddelbuettel,

This is already fixed in my sources following, I think, an earlier hint by
Graham in private email.
The current change is also because of the R 4.4.0 release of Matrix 1.7.0;
this is not a super-strong dependence but CRAN and the Matrix team decided to
have 1.7.0 released after R 4.4.0, and we tagged a small number of packages
needing a rebuild with this version of Matrix as they consumed the C API via
the headers. The 1.5.0 transition has long been taken care of.
As this is now an open bug I will just plug it. Thanks for the report.
| Thanks for your work on the R packages.
My pleasure! And thanks so much for the kind words.
Cheers, Dirk
