[R-pkg-devel] Package failing reverse dependency checks

Hi all, I'm trying to upload a new version of my "huxtable" package. It is currently failing reverse dependency checks for two packages (homnormal and RSStest). The relevant failures are below. I got this failure one time, and fixed the problem, which relates to mistakenly relying on the Suggested: knitr package (see here for the commit: https://github.com/hughjonesd/huxtable/commit/5a3edc). After the commit, reverse dependency checks for homnormal and RSStest pass on my machine, when testing either with revdepcheck::revdep_check or tools::check_packages_in_dir, and even when knitr is not installed. But, after I uploaded the new package to CRAN, the same failure recurred. My new release candidate had the same version number as the previous one (which had failed the revdep check, and therefore not been published on CRAN). Is it possible that CRAN just tested the old version again?
The CRAN policy on re-submission says "Increasing the version number at each submission reduces confusion so is preferred even when a previous submission was not accepted." So yes, I think confusion with the previous submission could have happened. Duncan Murdoch
If not, then can anyone suggest the best way to debug a revdep check on as close a setup to the CRAN machines as possible?
