From Brian Ripley:

I am seeing occasional failures in the tests like

• checking tests ...
  Running ‘doRUnit.R’
  ERROR
  Running the tests in ‘tests/doRUnit.R’ failed.
  Last 13 lines of output:
  Number of errors: 0
  Number of failures: 1

  1 Test Suite :
  futile.matrix unit testing - 5 test functions, 0 errors, 1 failure
  FAILURE in test.fit.density_1: Error in checkEquals(4, ps[1], tolerance = 0.1) :
  Mean relative difference: 0.1187637
  Error:

  unit testing failed (#test failures: 1, #R errors: 0)

See what http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#Writing-portable-packages has to say about testing accuracy. Given that this has happened on several platforms, it seems clear the test or code is faulty.

Please submit a corrected update.
