Just wait until Oct 4 and everything will clear up....
No, seriously:
I don't think there's reason to worry, and Martyn Plummer can probably
explain how this has happened. (I think it originates in the .rpm
file. Quite possibly, he forgot to set the clock on his new RedHat6.0
machine...)
To fix (as root) it should suffice to do
touch /usr/lib/R/etc/Makeconf
- or maybe
find /usr/lib/R -type f | xargs touch
(The former changes the date of a specific file to "now", the later
does it to all files under /usr/lib/R)
