[Bioc-devel] Package dependencies error during BiocCheck

[Marcel Ramos]

Hi Sarvesh,

The error has something to do with an interaction between internal base 
R code
and checking for dependencies in BiocCheck with `loadNamespace`.
Either way, this check in BiocCheck is redundant with R CMD check.
It will soon get removed but for now, you can disable it by running:

BiocCheck("./seqArchRplus", `no-check-dependencies` = TRUE)

Best,

Marcel
