RSSA package in R for windows

I have used the Rssa package from cRAN in R using my mac computer and it install just fine. When I try to install it on my windows computer, it gives me this error

Warning in install.packages :
package ‘forecast’ is not available (for R version 3.0.1)
> install.packages("Rssa")

> library(Rssa)
Loading required package: forecast
Error: package ‘forecast’ could not be loaded

Does this mean the forecast dependency is not in the Rssa zip file in cran for windows? If so, is there a way around this or is it something else? I have tried googling this question but not much comes up for this package.

A recent 5.0 release of forecast package is only available for R (≥ 3.0.2). This package is listed in depends to Rssa, so you will have this problem under R 3.0.0 and 3.0.1.

Update your R, and everything will be fine. Another option in to manually install forecast, but that is not recommended.

I've contacted package maintainer, and he is working on either explicitly specify dependency on R (≥ 3.0.2) or moving forecast to suggests instead of depends. This issue will be resolved in the nearest future.
