[R-pkg-devel] Installation error on Windows during CRAN pretest

[Wilke, Claus O]

Hello,

I just tried to submit my package ggridges to CRAN and got an error during the pretest on Windows. I have no idea what the error means, and my package tested fine on win-builder, for both R release and R devel.

The specific error during install is:
* installing *source* package 'ggridges' ...
** using staged installation

You can see the complete logs here: https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/ggridges_0.5.5_20231214_220108/
My package source is here: https://github.com/wilkelab/ggridges

I’d appreciate any help in resolving this. I have no idea what to try other than to just submit again and cross my fingers.

Thanks!

Claus
