[R-pkg-devel] R CMD check --as-cran problem

I added Matrix in Suggests (I am not sure that is the way to go), but the same error occurred with --as-cran: there is no package called 'Matrix.' Again, there is no problem without --as-cran.

| Thanks Dirk and Klaus. The package Matrix is not used directly but it is used by package survival, which was called in Suggests.  So I am not sure what is the problem. But why CRAN has no such error https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_bujar.html. I assumed the CRAN check uses the same R version 3.5.2 as I have. The problem only occurred when I used --as-cran option.

Doesn't this mean that you may to ensure Matrix is present when survival
might be used -- so if your package suggests survival it should also suggest
Matrix?
