Thank you, Dario.
For exactly this, I get the correct
* checking package dependencies ... NOTE
Vorgeschlagenes, aber nicht zur Überprüfung verfügbares Paket:
aPackageNotFoundTypically
(I changed the line in 'DESCRIPTION' to
----------------------------------------
Suggests: aPackageNotFoundTypically
----------------------------------------
which is exactly the 'de' translation for
the one I mentioned earlier in this thread:
c(gettextf("Package suggested but not available for checking: %s", bad),
I'm appending the slightly modified version of your testPackage.tar.gz
which only gives one 'NOTE' (see above) and no warning in
'R CMD check'...
......
aah .. but when I rerun it as "Joe Average" user, instead of
myself, I get your
* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Package required but not available: aPackageNotFoundTypically
.... dig dig...
....
I see, it's because in a file I source in ~/.bashrc I have
export _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_=false
which of course is what Brian and Simon alluded to when they
told you you could turn off the behavior ...
Ok, so we have finally converged....
I think I agree with Hervé: If a user has not set the
magic environment variable he should get an ERROR instead of a NOTE
but the error *message* should be the correct one.
Ok, so thanks to Dario and Herve for persevering...
Martin
