[Bioc-devel] build errors: "Error in .seqlengths_TwoBitFile(x) : UCSC library operation failed"

[Paul Shannon]

I cannot reproduce daily build failures found in the trena package by the build system.  The build report shows:

trena RUnit Tests - 86 test functions, 7 errors, 0 failures

ERROR in test_.injectSnp: Error in .seqlengths_TwoBitFile(x) : UCSC library operation failed
ERROR in test_bugInStartEndOfMinusStrandHits: Error in .seqlengths_TwoBitFile(x) : UCSC library operation failed
ERROR in test_findMatchesByChromosomalRegion: Error in .seqlengths_TwoBitFile(x) : UCSC library operation failed
ERROR in test_findMatchesByChromosomalRegion.twoAlternateAlleles: Error in .seqlengths_TwoBitFile(x) : UCSC library operation failed
ERROR in test_findMatchesByMultipleChromosomalRegions: Error in .seqlengths_TwoBitFile(x) : UCSC library operation failed
ERROR in test_getSequence: Error in .seqlengths_TwoBitFile(x) : UCSC library operation failed
ERROR in test_noMatch: Error in .seqlengths_TwoBitFile(x) : UCSC library operation failed

This seems similar to a bioc support exchange from two years ago, which may suggest that the build system's BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38 is the locus of the problem.   I offer suggestion very tentatively.

Any suggestions?
