Package: r-cran-car
Version: 3.1-3-1
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
The r-cran-car package depends on r-cran-rio. However, the following is
seen in the DESCRIPTION file:
Imports: abind, Formula, MASS, mgcv, nnet, pbkrtest (>= 0.4-4),
quantreg, grDevices, utils, stats, graphics, lme4 (>=
1.1-27.1), nlme, scales
Suggests: alr4, boot, coxme, effects, knitr, leaps, lmtest, Matrix,
MatrixModels, ordinal, plotrix, mvtnorm, rgl (>= 0.111.3), rio,
sandwich, SparseM, survival, survey
According to the NEWS file, the rio package has been demoted from Imports
to Suggests in the upstream version 3.0-12:
Changes to Version 3.0-12
o The 'rio` package is now suggested, not required. To use the
Import() and Export() functions users may need to install rio using
install.packages("rio")
Please, remove r-cran-rio from Depends.
One more question: would it be reasonable to add a Suggests field to
debian/control that reflects the Suggests field in DESCRIPTION? At least,
this is what dh-make-R does when building a package for car from scratch.
Best,
Rafael Laboissière
