Yes, I reported this as it may be found by others using CRS for Finland, 
and linked to an issue at the geofi repo. It may be that the Comprehensive 
R Archive Network (CRAN) will update to 9.6.0 shortly after release on 
some platforms, which would lead to geofi failing and having 14 days to 
correct - at least now the maintainer will be forewarned if they track new 
issues.

Some users think that EPSG are fixed, though.
