Further to my earlier email, I understand that my package has been archived since my last version on CRAN (1.1.0) had among its dependencies a package that has been archived. Now my question: How can I bring my package (actually the new version 1.1.1 that I’m trying to check) back to life (i.e.

Hello, I am checking a package of mine, and I got only 1 note regarding possibly misspelled words in the DESCRIPTION. The issue I am facing is that those 6 words are not actually misspelled, being either first or last names of individuals (actually, statistician; e.g., Kruskall, Brainerd). Sha
