[R-pkg-devel] OFFICIAL: R-devel check error: package or NAMESPACE load failed, there is no package called broom

[Georgina Anderson]

OFFICIAL
Many thanks Pedro and Hadley 

Just to complete the thread if anyone else experiencing similar problems.  
This package uploaded to CRAN with no problems on second attempt so likely just bad timing.
  
Interesting that broom is failing CRAN tests though.  I will keep an eye on that as I import it with my package.

It seems that 'broom' itself is failing tests on CRAN under Windows oldrel, and this may cause it to be missing from the R installation running tests on CRAN.

See:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_broom.html
