Package: r-cran-matrix Version: 1.2-13-1 Severity: normal Hi Dirk,
When I install r-cran-matrix version 1.2-13-1 from unstable, it puts it under /usr/lib/R/site-library , whereas if I downgrade to version 1.2-12-1 from testing, it puts it under /usr/lib/R/library with the other recommended packages. I am not sure if this was an intentional change, but it breaks R CMD check for packages that have Matrix in the Imports line of their DESCRIPTION file. Specifically, if you call R CMD check on a package that is downstream of Matrix, then when it gets to examples or tests, it says: Error: package or namespace load failed for 'rstanarm' in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]): there is no package called 'Matrix' I put in a print statement right before that, which outputs > library(testthat) > print(.libPaths()) [1] "/tmp/RtmpKN7neI/RLIBS_8051142d41b" "/usr/lib/R/library" > library(rstanarm) so it seems that R CMD check does not copy Matrix into /tmp/Rtmp* because it assumes it is already in /usr/lib/R/library, which is not the case anymore. Not a big deal since I have to do R CMD check on r-devel anyway.
