Thank you both! Nicholas, i did check the Wayback Machine; the URL was never archived, nor was the domain itself (in case you're curious, www.ibge.Goiásv.br/).
Duncan, that worked at preventing the hyperlink locally; thank you. But i got a new error from Win-Builder (the development version via devtools::check_win_devel() but not the release version via devtools::check_win_release()). It seems to apply to all URLs and DOIs, though i did not get it on any previous check: Checking URLs failed with message: there is no package called 'curl' Checking DOIs failed with message: there is no package called 'curl' Cory On 4/2/25 20:28, Nicholas Tierney wrote: > Could you potentially look for the original website in the internet > archive / wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/ and cite that instead? > > On Thu, 3 Apr 2025 at 08:42, Duncan Murdoch <murdoch.dun...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > On 2025-04-02 1:28 p.m., Jason Cory Brunson wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I'm trying to submit a new version of a package to CRAN.
