[R-pkg-devel] No package called 'scales' (r-oldrel-windows)

Hi all,

I recently submitted an update to `PAutilities`.

It has errored for r-oldrel-windows with "there is no package called
'scales'" (see https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-oldrel-windows-ix86+x86_64/PAutilities-00install.html).

I am a bit mystified by this, as the package builds fine on Winbuilder
old release (see
https://win-builder.r-project.org/g6EPG1y3nGN9/00check.log), as well
as my older local Windows installation (4.0.5) and all other platforms
I have checked.

Does anyone have insights about this? I assume it is related to
dependency on ggplot2, but I'm struggling to replicate the error and
thus unsure where to start.

Many thanks,
Paul

Scales is the package which is called when you use something like
"dollar" or "comma" in scale_x_whatever(); perhaps you have a similar
invocation without realizing it?

Thanks,

Avi

I think it's a hiccup on the testing machine. There doesn't seem to be
anything you would be able to fix on your side: you correctly declare
PAutilities to depend on the "scales" package, and yet the machine
running the test doesn't have it installed.

Thanks Avi and Ivan. It appears there was indeed a hiccup on the
testing machine, as the error has now resolved. (I wasn't sure if I
needed to manually initiate anything, so it was informative to see the
issue resolved without me.)

Best,
Paul
