I see the same problem in MacOSX, but not in Windows.  If I try it with 
none of the dependencies installed, only reshape and proto are added but 
there's a warning about grid, splines and MASS, so I'd guess this is a 
bug related to the fact that RColorBrewer and colorspace are on the 
second line, and there's another bug related to the fact that the others 
are recommended packages.
