Too many layers of complexity for me, can you take the package sources and zat /or zip) them for me and send them? Then I'll take a look.

Thanks. I ran in R:
devtools::build("myPackage")
That gave me a warning:
      NB: this package now depends on R (>= 3.5.0)
      WARNING: Added dependency on R >= 3.5.0 because serialized
objects in  serialize/load version 3 cannot be read in older versions
of R.
      File(s) containing such objects: 'myPackage/R/sysdata.rda'
'myPackage/data/myCol.rda'
But it didn't error. I then added the dependency to R >= 3.5.0 to my
DESCRIPTION file, and rerunning devtools::build now executed without
error or warning. However, in the command window "R CMD build
myPackage" still gives same error.
Then in R I ran:
devtools::check("myPackage")
It gave me a genuine error ("myplot" instead of "myPlot" in my
myPackage-package.rda file), and a couple of warnings. All of which I
fixed, and re-running the check gave me 0 errors/warnings/notes.
In the command window, "R CMD build myPackage" still gives the same error.

If you use devtools::check, I think it runs in the original R process, so you 
might be able to debug the error using eg options(error=recover).

Thanks for the replies. I am still stuck, although agree it is most
likely due to change to R version 3.6.0. I did however manage to
create a dummy package that now does re-create the same error, this
required the inclusion of a data object. The R CMD build error occurs
regardless of whether there is a sysdata.rda in the R subdirectory,
and whether there is a datalist in the data subdirectory. Apologies
for the lengthy "code" that follows:

In R:
myCol <- rgb(0.9,0.5,0.5)
myPlot <- function(x){
    plot(x, col = myCol)
    return(NULL)
}
package.skeleton(name = "myPackage", list = c("myPlot", "myCol"))

save(list = c("myCol"), file = "sysdata.rda")

You might be able to find where the error occurred by putting the following 
lines in ~/.Rprofile

cat("~/.Rprofile: setting alternate error handler\n")
options(

Hi,

(Re-posting here as per advice from r-help)

I've got an R package that I periodically create in what I assume is
an old-fashioned way:

Within R: use "package.skeleton"
Outside of R: update e.g. .rd files as appropriate
Command window: run the following commands
R CMD build packageName
R CMD check packageName
R CMD INSTALL --build packageName

I am now getting an error on the R CMD build stage. Initially I had
wanted to remove a package dependency (by not passing some functions
to package.skeleton and editing my NAMESPACE and DESCRIPTION file
appropriately), but on getting the error I tried to revert everything
back to my last successful build (Feb 2019), however, the error
persisted:
R CMD build packageName
* checking for file 'packageName/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing 'packageName' :
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
* checking for LF line-endings in source and make files
* checking for empty or unneeded directories
* looking to see if a 'data/datalist' file should be added
Error in if (any(update)) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
Execution halted

I am guessing that the error could be due to any of the last three
lines that don't have an "OK", but I am completely stuck as to how to
narrow it down further, and Dr. Google has already failed me.

Using R version 3.6.0, R tools version 3.5.0.4 (I don't recall if had
different versions previous time I built this package in Feb 2019).
Attempt to reproduce error with dummy package failed (i.e. no issues
with R CMD build).

Cheers,
Rob.
