[R-pkg-devel] CRAN Submission Question (FSA)

[Derek Ogle]

I recently updated my FSA package and submitted it to CRAN, but it was rejected with errors on the pre-test. I tested the package, both before and now after submission, on my Windows machine (with R 3.4.1), on Travis-CI and AppVeyor, and on all three versions of R (old, current, and development) on WinBuilder. In all instances, no errors were returned. Furthermore, I cannot interpret the error messages returned from the CRAN pre-test file. From this, I have two questions.

How can I locally reproduce the CRAN pre-test checks/errors so that I can troubleshoot the problem myself?

Any suggestions for how to interpret the CRAN pre-test checks/errors? [For what it is worth, it feels like this error is related to the availability of nlme or lme4 (see the error at the bottom of the 64-bit examples file), but I trust CRAN more than myself in these matters.]

The CRAN pre-test folder is at https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/170907_041001_FSA_0815/ with the errors shown in the log and the .Rout files in the examples/tests folder.
 
My WinBuilder checks are at: Old-release -- https://win-builder.r-project.org/7i5svuyd2kP3/00check.log, current -- https://win-builder.r-project.org/vR33M8284Jbg/, devel - https://win-builder.r-project.org/XqHThgnnnvpv/00check.log 

If necessary, my package source code is at https://github.com/droglenc/FSA

Thanks in advance for any help.
