[R-pkg-devel] devtools::check() gives error on missing License field, but License field is not missing

[Rampal S. Etienne]

Yesterday I updated the devtools package and suddenly obtained some
strange errors when running devtools::check().

For instance, I get

E checking for file 'secsse/DESCRIPTION'Required field missing or empty:
'License'

However. the License line is present. I don't see anything wrong with
it. See below.

Furthermore, for another package, I get

-checking package dependencies ...Error in if (force_suggests) lsuggests
: (5.3s)missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed


The check completes without reporting any warning, note or error, so
this error seems an error in the function check itself.

Does anyone get these errors too and know how to fix them?

Cheers,

Rampal Etienne
