[R-pkg-devel] Static vignettes / bibtex warning in Debian

[Duncan Murdoch]

That WARNING is unlikely to be related to the vignette.  The problem is 
that you have Depends/Imports/Suggests for some R package that does the 
same for the bibtex package (possibly with one ore more other indirect 
steps).

Since this is only on one platform, it's probably not something you need 
to worry about:  that other package has probably been updated to drop 
the bibtex dependence, but Debian hasn't got the update yet.

I don't know how you determine which is the "guilty" package.  Maybe 
there are more hints in the check log?
