[R-pkg-devel] Warning... unable to translate 'Ekstr<f8>m' to a wide string; Error... input string 1 is invalid

[Spencer Graves]

Hello:


	  What's the recommended fix for "Warning in gsub(gsLi$pattern, 
gsLi$replacement, xo) : unable to translate 'Ekstr<f8>m' to a wide 
string; Error in gsub(gsLi$pattern, gsLi$replacement, xo) : input string 
1 is invalid"?


	  This is in:


https://github.com/sbgraves237/Ecfun/blob/master/man/subNonStandardCharacters.Rd


	  R-devel is now rejecting some non-ASCII characters that it previously 
accepted;  see below.


	  Thanks,
	  Spencer Graves

Dear maintainers,

This concerns the CRAN packages

   BDWreg DWreg Ecdat Ecfun gk

maintained by one of you:

   Dennis Prangle <dennis.prangle using gmail.com>: gk
   Hamed Haselimashhadi <hamedhaseli using gmail.com>: BDWreg
   Spencer Graves <spencer.graves using effectivedefense.org>: Ecfun Ecdat
   Veronica Vinciotti<veronica.vinciotti using brunel.ac.uk>: DWreg

We have asked for an update fixing the check problems shown at
   <https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_Ecfun.html>
with no update from the maintainer thus far.

Thus, package Ecfun is now scheduled for archival on 2022-08-08, and
archiving this will necessitate also archiving its CRAN strong reverse
dependencies.

Please negotiate the necessary actions.

The CRAN Team
