Good evening all - I'm getting my first package ready for submission to 
Bioconductor, and I'm running into a couple of errors/warnings when I run R CMD 
CHECK or BiocCheck. All of my current troubleshooting on these errors has come 
up blank, so I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

I'm running R4.1 on Ubuntu 20.04, Bioconductor 3.13, and BiocCheck 1.28


  1.  R CMD check warning: �qpdf� is needed for checks on size reduction of PDFs

I am getting this warning with R CMD check despite the fact that I have 
installed qpdf and it is visible to my R session. Stack Exchange suggested a 
couple of fixes in .Renviron, none of which helped. This seems like a new 
problem in R4.x, and possibly is only a problem with packages intended for 
CRAN, but I wanted to make sure it wouldn't cause headaches during review.


  1.  BiocCheck error: Maintainer must register at the support site; visit 
https://support.bioconductor.org/accounts/signup/

I am registered on the support site as andrewe_wi...@dfci.harvard.edu, which is 
the same email address as listed in my package's DESCRIPTION, so I'm not sure 
what else to do here. I've been registered on the support site for 7 months now 
and have a verified email address.


  1.  BiocCheckGitClone error: System Files found that should not be git 
tracked:
        flowGate.Rproj
        .Rhistory

I accidentally tracked these two files ages past, but have long since added 
them to .gitignore and deleted them with git rm --cached <filename>. I can 
confirm that they are gone with git ls-files and git ls-files --cache; they 
appear in neither of these lists when I run the command. To be certain, I made 
a fresh clone of the repo on a new computer and ran BiocCheckGitClone, but 
still got this error despite neither of these files showing up anywhere in the 
git as far as I can tell.


My apologies for what seem like basic problems - these look like they should be 
straightforward fixes (install qpdf, register for the site, and remove the 
offending files), but none of those fixes worked and I'm not sure where to go 
from here. Any insight anyone can give on how to fix these errors is greatly 
appreciated!

Thanks,

-Andrew
