[R-pkg-devel] Installation error when submitting package to CRAN

[Michael Mahony]

Apologies in advance for not providing a reproducible example, but I am 
unsure how to reproduce the below error, as it did not occur on my 
machine.

I recently submitted a package to CRAN, after which I received an 
automated email from ligges using statistik.tu-dortmund.de, saying my package 
had failed the automated checks. I was advised to ask for help on this 
mailing list if I did not know how to resolve the error.

Details of the automated checks are provided here: 
https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/hhmR_0.0.1_20241015_235116/

Essentially, when trying to install the package for Windows, the 
following error was produced.

```
* installing *source* package 'hhmR' ...
** using staged installation
** R
** data
*** moving datasets to lazyload DB
** inst
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), 
versionCheck = vI[[j]]) :
   there is no package called 'farver'
Calls: <Anonymous> ... loadNamespace -> withRestarts -> withOneRestart 
-> doWithOneRestart
Execution halted
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'hhmR'
* removing 'd:/RCompile/CRANincoming/R-devel/lib/hhmR'
```

This error has never occurred before when testing the package using 
`devtools` or `rhub`. I imagine I probably need to add `library(farver)` 
somewhere in my package, but am unsure where.

If anyone has any advice about how to resolve this issue I would be very 
greatful.

Thank you in advance,

Michael
