Hi Charles, Thanks for reaching out. Please ensure that you have built R with xz (lzma) support. If this does not resolve your problem, please post on support.bioconductor.org. Michael On Thu, Sep 2, 2021 at 2:54 PM Charles Plessy wrote: > > Hello > > on my R 4.1.0 system, rtracklayer version 1

[Bioc-devel] rtracklayer::import (v 1.53.1) fails on xz-compressed files.

Hello on my R 4.1.0 system, rtracklayer version 1.53.1 refuses to load XZ-compressed GFF files, throwing the error "has unsupported type: xzfile". As the function's manual page states that xz-compressed files are handled transparently, I suppose it is a bug? Have a ncie day, Charles Plessy --
