Failure on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS, R-release, GCC

[maelle]

I've just run check_for_cran() and got this failure by email

* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Package suggested but not available: ‘covr’

The suggested packages are required for a complete check.
Checking can be attempted without them by setting the environment
variable _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_ to a false value.

See section ‘The DESCRIPTION file’ in the ‘Writing R Extensions’
manual.

I actually don't need covr and should remove it from DESCRIPTION (if only someone wrote a blog post to make me realize such issues :grimacing: ) but was wondering why covr was unavailable.

I'm getting the same message but with the sf package.

Did you figure out how to solve this beyond removing from dependencies?

This issue is about the previous R-hub system, it does not apply to the new system, so I am closing it now. Please see https://r-hub.github.io/rhub/ for the new system, R-hub v2.
