Hello,

This question has not stirred much discussion ... If this is the wrong place to 
ask,  I was wondering if some one point me to where I should ask, or who to 
approach?  If I understand this issue correctly, it does not affect only my 
package, but also the maintainers of 50+ other packages that depend on rJava 
when they will try to update the package.

So far I tried putting the explanation to the comment field when submitting the 
update, and I also tried emailing cran-submissi...@r-project.org, but that was 
also without response so far.

Thanks for any pointers,

Tomas

Předmět: [R-pkg-devel] Updating package with a dependency (rJava) that doesn't 
build on all flavours

Hi,

I maintain a package in CRAN, for which I am struggling to push the latest 
updates.

The problem is as follows:
My package passes tests without error or notice on all flavors but one, where 
the install fails due to an installation error of a dependency package (package 
rJava on r-devel-windows-ix86+x86_64). This installation error was already 
there in the past submissions of my package to CRAN, and was not previously 
considered as a blocker to the package (or its updates) being accepted (Current 
CRAN status: ERROR: 1, OK: 10)

Now, the package updates are automatically rejected:

xxxx

package qCBA_0.4.tar.gz does not pass the incoming checks automatically, please 
see the following pre-tests:
Windows: 
<https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/qCBA_0.4_20191108_100822/Windows/00check.log>
Status: 1 ERROR
Debian: 
<https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/qCBA_0.4_20191108_100822/Debian/00check.log>
Status: OK

xxxx

I cannot fix the problem with the dependency (rJava), and I also cannot remove 
rJava from my package.

More details:
Installation of  rJava package fails on 32-bit Windows, as can be seen here:
https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/qCBA_0.4_20191106_094406/Windows/00install.out
 ("keine zul�ssige Win32-Anwendung" error)
This problem seems to apply generally to the rJava package, not just to its use 
in my package: https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_rJava.html.

I've also described this in the "Optional comment" field.

Any help is appreciated,

Tomas
