[Rd] CRAN indices out of whack (for at least macOS)

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

I have received three distinct (non-)bug reports where someone claimed a
recent package of mine was broken ... simply because the macOS binary was not
there.

Is there something wrong with the cronjob providing the indices? Why is it
pointing people to binaries that do not exist?

Concretely, file

  https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.4/PACKAGES

contains

  Package: digest
  Version: 0.6.15
  Title: Create Compact Hash Digests of R Objects
  Depends: R (>= 2.4.1)
  Suggests: knitr, rmarkdown
  Built: R 3.4.3; x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0; 2018-01-29 05:21:06 UTC; unix
  Archs: digest.so.dSYM

yet the _same directory_ only has:

  digest_0.6.14.tgz	15-Jan-2018 21:36	157K

I presume this is a temporary accident.

We are all spoiled by you all providing such a wonderfully robust and
well-oiled service---so again big THANKS for that--but today something is out
of order.

Dirk
