I have pymvpa version 0.4.3-1 and from glmnet I have r-cran-glmnet
1.1-5-1cran1~lenny.

Since I did the steps mentioned below, I get the following message
every time I run a script with pymvpa:

In [1]: run searchlight_exp17.py
Loading required package: lars
Warning message:
In library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, lib.loc
= lib.loc) :
  there is no package called 'lars'
Loading required package: Matrix
Loading required package: lattice

Attaching package: 'Matrix'


	The following object(s) are masked from package:stats :

	 xtabs



After that the script just preceedes. I get this message since I did
the following things:
sudo aptitude install python-rpy python-rpy-doc r-base-dev
install.packages() --> install elasticnet (lars was not in the list
with downloadable packages)

I even get this warning at scripts with classifiers that don't use the
lars (e.g., RbfNuSVMC()), the error arises during importing
(#First import a necessary pieces of PyMVPA
from mvpa.suite import *
# Import mapping functions
from mvpa.mappers.samplegroup import SampleGroupMapper
from mvpa.misc.transformers import FirstAxisMean)
