[R-pkg-devel] unexpected CRAN pretest failure

Mon Dec 14 15:02:54 CET 2020

Dear community,

When trying to update my CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/statgenGxE/index.html) package in ran into unexpected error on Windows.
I had tested before submission on R-hub, which went fine, but CRAN complained, and this was confirmed on Winbuilder.
I noticed a slight difference in R-version used on CRAN/Winbuilder and R-hub.
However, the error itself seems to come from an lme4 function. 
I'm quite clueless on how to debug/fix this.
