Are you running this at rhub?

Rhub is a "contributed service" so as the CRAN Checklist [1] says, "results
may differ".  You can file bug reports for rhub; I have done in the past and
it (at times) has lead to changes.

As for your package, it looks like it passes on fully set-up test beds so
it looks like you may be ready for submission.  Only CRAN can tell, and only
will if you actually submit ;-)
