[Bioc-devel] Biostrings: substitution matrices disappeared?

[Ulrich Bodenhofer]

Dear colleagues, dear BioC core team,

One of my packages in the devel branch, the ‘msa’ package seems broken since
yesterday. The vignette does not run anymore (therefore, the package does
not build), and the reason is that the BLOSUM62 substitution matrix cannot
be loaded form the ‘Biostrings’ package anymore. I checked the ‘Biostrings’
package. In Version 2.70.3 in the release branch, the substitution matrices
were still in the ‘data/’ directory. In the current devel version 2.71.6,
they have disappeared. I found no hint to that in the NEWS file. So, I want
to kindly ask the maintainers of the ‘Biostrings’ package to give me some
advice how to fix that on my side or, in case that this is an error in the
current devel version of the ‘Biostrings’ package, to have a look into this.

Thanks a lot in advance, best regards,
Ulrich
