R-Forge: File ‘/pkg/DESCRIPTION’ is out of date

I came across a puzzling “File ‘/pkg/DESCRIPTION’ is out of date” error when updating an R-package of mine on R-Forge today. I was pretty sure the version number and date were correct. I couldn’t figure out any other issue, so I made a copy of my documents, checked out the code again, and copied the modified files back. All worked. I’m still a bit puzzled as I only use one machine for this, but who cares if the code is working…
