Hello,

In my description file, I have an example data package in Suggests: that I've 
deleted from my library to test what the user who doesn't have it will 
experience.

However, R CMD check won't even pass my package :

* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Package required but not available: RepitoolsExamples
          ^^^^^^^^
         confusing!

Wouldn't a message like

  Package required for full checking but not available: RepitoolsExamples

be more appropriate and avoid a confusion that we've seen
for a very long time now?

Just me 2 cents...

Cheers,
H.


Why would it have to be installed, if it's only a data package, that isn't needed in any 
of my code ? The manual also says "In particular, large packages providing “only” 
data for examples or vignettes should be listed in ‘Suggests’ rather than ‘Depends’ in 
order to make lean installations possible."
