[R-pkg-devel] Package required but not available: ‘arrow’

If you look on the CRAN check results for arrow, you'll see it has
errors on the Linux platforms that use clang, and can't be installed there.

For you to deal with this, you should make arrow into a suggested
package, and if it is missing, work around that without generating an
error.  Another choice would be to work with the arrow developers to get
it to install on the systems where it fails now, but it's a big package,
so that would likely be a lot harder.

Hi,

I?m writing to seek assistance regarding an issue we?re encountering
during the submission process of our new package to CRAN.
The package in question is currently working smoothly on R CMD check
on Windows; however, we are facing a specific error when running R CMD
check on Debian. The error message we?ve got from CRAN is as follows:

```
? checking package dependencies ... ERROR
   Package required but not available: ?arrow?

   See section ?The DESCRIPTION file? in the ?Writing R Extensions?
manual.
```

We have ensured that the ?arrow? package is properly listed in
DESCRIPTION file under the ?Imports:?.
Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this? Any help
will be valuable.

Thank you in advance.

Best,
--Sungjae
