[R-pkg-devel] Package submission rejected as it fails checks on Debian

[Vasileios Nikolaidis]

Dear R-developers, I apologize for posting something that has probably 
been discussed before (but missed it while searching the archives).

While trying to submit a newer version of my package to CRAN, it is 
rejected as it fails on Debian. I will call this package APACKAGE below 
(although it is named differently). It has passed all checks on my 
Windows system (no errors or warnings).

The package (for many versions now) is configured as follows:
Imports: 	Rcpp , methods
LinkingTo: 	Rcpp
Suggests: 	R.rsp

The previous version of the package (already on CRAN) shows no errors on 
CRAN checks, only NOTES for some platforms. Interestingly, a couple of 
days ago I checked the CRAN checks and noticed that this exact 
(previous) version of the package had one ERROR indicated, occurring in 
some Debian flavor (r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc, if I remember 
correctly). I changed nothing, but now it shows no errors for all 
platforms (including Debian).

Now I am trying to submit a newer version and it not accepted as it 
fails on Debian. Checking the log I see no syntax errors or warnings.

** testing if installed package can be loaded from temporary location

I tried the R-Hub builder and it also fails for Platform Debian Linux, 
R-devel, GCC. The process goes fine until the following:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘APACKAGE’ in dyn.load(file, 
DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):

It maybe something obvious, but I really cannot think of what else to 
try to fix this issue.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
