[R-pkg-devel] Package removed from CRAN without warning

[Rafael H. M. Pereira]

Hi all,

I recently noticed that my package {flightsbr}
<https://ipeagit.github.io/flightsbr/> has been removed from CRAN but I
never received any email or warning that the package would be removed. It
seems my package was removed because it imports the {parzer}
<https://docs.ropensci.org/parzer/> package that was also removed on July
1st. The authors of {parzer} told me they did not receive any messages or
warnings. What makes this a bit more puzzling, is that both packages were
passing all CRAN checks (see here
<https://cran-archive.r-project.org/web/checks/2025/2025-07-02_check_results_flightsbr.html>
and
here
<https://cran-archive.r-project.org/web/checks/2025/2025-07-02_check_results_parzer.html>
).

I'm wondering what has caused this and if this might have happened to other
packages.

Best wishes,

Rafa Pereira
