[R-pkg-devel] Strange error from CRAN on package submission
Hi Uwe, Thanks for the suggestion. I thought of that idea last night, and tried it with the latest submission of version 0.11.4 of Mercator. That version is still in the submission queue waiting for manual inspection, but it gave the same error message. (See https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/Mercator_0.11.4_20201111_014655/Debian/00check.log) I think I may try to "Import" or "Depend" on flexmix to force it to be available. Is there some reason why my program should even need to know that flexmix is suggested several layers down the dependency hierarchy? For building and installing the package (or running R CMD check ---as-cran), I tried on my machine when flexmix is not even installed, and got no errors or warnings. There is clearly something I don't understand about namespaces, and I'd like to learn it to avoid this kind of situation in the future. Best, ? Kevin

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to fix warnings from two of the CRAN machines on the submission of an update to a package. The only change to my package was to add a "show" method to one of the S4 classes, which was requested by a reviewer of the paper we submitted. The inability to get this updated package into CRAN? is the only thing holding up the revision (and probable acceptance) of the manuscript. The same "warnings"s were found in the previous version. The package is called Mercator, and the CRAN check results from the? last version are here: https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_Mercator.html I get warnings from the two fedora machine instances (clang and gcc). They both report
Check: whether package can be installed. Result: WARN ?? ?? Found the following significant? warnings: ?? ?? Warning: namespace ?flexmix? is? not available and has been replaced
? > ? > Check: data for non-ASCII characters
Result: WARN ?? ??? Warning: namespace 'flexmix'? is not available and has been replaced ?? ??? by .GlobalEnv when processing? object '<unknown>'
The relationships in the DESCRIPTION files are: 1. Mercator depends on Thresher 2. Thresher imports moVMF 3. moMVF suggests flexmix On my Windows machine, the package builds and installs with no errors or warnings even if flexmix is not available (which I believe to be the correct behavior). On R-Forge, both the Windows and LINUX versions build and install with no errors or warnings. On R-Hub, tested on multiple LINUX versions, the package builds and installs with no errors or warnings. And flexmix is still clearly available from CRAN: ? ? https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/flexmix/index.html In the latest attempt to get things to work, I added ? ? Suggests: flexmix into the DESCRIPTION file for Mercator, but this didn't help fix the problem on CRAN. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem (other than moan here on this list and hope that CRAN can just install flexmix on those machines)? Thanks in advance for your help, ? ?
