I'm not certain I understand the problem you are having with it.  

This evening, I started out messing with it: I set a specific CRAN
repo (rather than having each of us select one by hand).  I also
updated it to go with R 2.11, which required some changes to
getDependencies.

I didn't find anything I saw as a false positive this evening:


> source ("./calc_buildorders.R")
[1] "Prepping"
Warning: dependencies ‘pkpkg’, ‘getmfclstuff’ are not available
Warning: dependency ‘rcom’ is not available
Warning: dependency ‘Revobase’ is not available
Warning: dependency ‘qtpaint’ is not available
 Iteration 1; 2083 packages remain.
 Iteration 2; 1317 packages remain.
 Iteration 3; 817 packages remain.
 Iteration 4; 380 packages remain.
 Iteration 5; 107 packages remain.
 Iteration 6; 38 packages remain.
 Iteration 7; 9 packages remain.
 Iteration 8; 0 packages remain.


I'm wondering if what you were seeing was related to drift in CRAN?
