I recently submit a package called QuasiSeq.  The package source and
Windows binary worked fine, but the MacOS X binary failed. The bottom of
the CRAN page for QuasiSeq shows

Downloads:
  Package source:     QuasiSeq_1.0-1.tar.gz
  MacOS X binary:     not available, see check log.
  Windows binary:     QuasiSeq-1.0-1.zip
  Reference manual:  QuasiSeq.pdf


The log for the MacOS X binary shows
   - using R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30)
   - using platform: i386-apple-darwin9.8.0 (32-bit)
   -  using session charset: ASCII
   -  checking for file 'QuasiSeq/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
   -  this is package 'QuasiSeq' version '1.0-1'
   -  checking package namespace information ... OK
   -  checking package dependencies ... ERROR
           Package required but not available: 'edgeR'

           See the information on DESCRIPTION files in the chapter
'Creating R
           packages' of the 'Writing R Extensions' manual.
   -  elapsed time (check, wall clock): 0:01

Is there a simple remedy to the problems caused by the dependency on edgeR,
or would you advise that I put a work-around into my source code using
'require' so I can list edgeR under Suggests instead of Depends or Includes?

Thank you for your time!

-Steve
