[R-pkg-devel] Warning from orphaned package on check page

[Alexandre Courtiol]

Dear Liam,
I don't understand your question: if your package has plotrix listed as a
dependency, it won't affect plotrix.
Only the opposite would be true. Could you please clarify and indicate
which package you are referring to?
Thanks,
Alex
