Dear Lori,
I already foxed the issue in the devel branch which now gives a clean check:
https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.8/bioc-LATEST/
The problema was due to a CRAN dependency no more available since July 20, 2018.
Would you recommend fixing the same issue also in the current release branch?
Or shall I leave it unchanged for consistency?
All the best
Francesco

You can wait a little longer if you like. It might also be helpful to reach out to the samr maintainers to see if they have any intention of bringing it back onto CRAN. I would not recommend waiting too long, as the package will need to be fixed before the next release to avoid deprecation in release Bioc 3.8. While there is no official release date set - it is generally in October.

Subject: EXTERNAL: [Bioc-devel] Fwd: PREDA problems reported in the Multiple platform build/check report for BioC 3.7
Looks like a CRAN package is no more available, and this is triggering a problem with a ?suggested? dependency
* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Package suggested but not available: ?samr?
which indeed has been removed from CRAN on July 20:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/samr/index.html <https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/samr/index.html> <https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/samr/index.html <https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/samr/index.html>>
It may be a temporary issue (while the develpers fix it) or a more long term one.
Should I remove the dependency right away or wait a bit longer?

Hi PREDA maintainer,
According to the Multiple platform build/check report for BioC 3.7,
the PREDA package has the following problem(s):
o ERROR for 'R CMD check' on malbec2. See the details here:
https://master.bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.7/bioc-LATEST/PREDA/malbec2-checksrc.html <https://master.bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.7/bioc-LATEST/PREDA/malbec2-checksrc.html>
Please take the time to address this by committing and pushing
changes to your package at git.bioconductor.org <http://git.bioconductor.org/>

you do so several days after you received this email.
* It is possible that the problems reported in this report are false positives,
either because another package (from CRAN or Bioconductor) breaks your
