))> Exactly what errors do you think you found? It is not an error for a package to be compatible with a range of versions of R. I suspect that the author didn't mean to specify 7 versions of R (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/NGSSEML/) under Depends.
I suspect so, too, but it works.
When a package specifies R >= 2.01 did they mean R 2.0.1 or R 2.1.0 (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/diagram/)
Yes, this is not obvious. But then it will be interpreted as R >= 2.1 which is not wrong in any case (even if 2.0.1 was meant).
Or specifying R >= 2.16 (which doesn't exist) - https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/seqDesign/
Actually R-2.16.0 did exist as a development version that was later on renumbered to 3.0.0, so it is right.
I realise that the above aren't "errors", but they do strongly indicate that the package author is making a mistake.
The only unclear statement is the 2.01, but compareVersion() does a sensible thing. So I do not worry too much.
Best, Uwe Ligges

I was doing a little investigation of R versions in packages and discovered a number of errors: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bartCause/index.html - R (≥ 3.1-0) https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/activityGCMM/index.html - R (3.00) https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/deTestSet/index.html - R (≥ 2.01) and also https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/NGSSEML/ - R (≥ 1.9.0), R (≥ 3.5.0), R (≥ 3.5.0), R (≥ 3.5.0), R (≥ 3.5.0), R (≥ 3.5.0), R (≥ 3.5.0) Overall I detected ~40 packages with issues: c("activityGCMM", "behavr", "bioassays", "bvpSolve", "celestial", "chest", "CRTSize", "csppData", "damr", "deTestSet", "diagram", "directPA", "DiscreteFDR", "ecolMod", "ecp", "epibasix", "europepmc", "fabisearch", "FDX", "ggetho", "hyper.fit", "MedSurvey", "NBPSeq", "NetIndices", "NFWdist", "OmegaG", "primer", "RATest", "refund", "RmarineHeatWaves", "rmcfs", "rootSolve", "RPPASPACE", "scopr", "scoringRules", "seqDesign", "shape", "sleepr", "SMPracticals", "text", "tggd", "zeitgebr") It seems like this would be a useful check to implement on the R CMD check.
