No it is not. The hint to increase version numbers on re-submission is a weaker 'should' or 'might', not a strong 'must'. I have uploaded a few packages to CRAN over the last two decades, and like others have made mistakes requiring iterations. I have not once increased a version number.
That's as may be but IMHO (and AFAICS) it never hurts to increment the version number, even if you've only corrected a trivial glitch. cheers, Rolf
