Automated package submission errors on CRAN, though the package builds and passes all checks locally

Question

I am attempting to submit a package to CRAN, but it is failing some automated checks: https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/influenceR_0.1.3_20230517_194638/Debian/00check.log

I am able to build the package from source successfully and it passes all the submission checks, so I am not sure how to address this error. I will be grateful for ideas if anyone has any.

The test below passes:

...
✔  checking compiled code
✔  checking examples
✔  checking for unstated dependencies in 'tests'
─  checking tests
✔  Running 'testthat.R'
─  checking PDF version of manual ... [12s] OK
✔  checking HTML version of manual
N  checking for non-standard things in the check directory
   Found the following files/directories:
     ''NULL''
N  checking for detritus in the temp directory
   Found the following files/directories:
     'lastMiKTeXException'
─  Done with R CMD check
─  Cleaning up files and user

as do devtools::check_win_devel() and

devtoolscheck():`

...
── R CMD check results ──────────────────────────────────────────── influenceR 0.1.2 ────
Duration: 16.7s

0 errors ✔ | 0 warnings ✔ | 0 notes ✔

Given this, I am not sure how to fix the error.

Following the suggestions below, I fixed the error and submitted, but I still get the following error:

it looks like from the checks there might be some broken links? can you remove them? I would suggest setting up a github repo and make github actions to test your build on multiple OS before submission – Buehler

You might want to ask this question on [email protected] ... – Deciliter

Isn't "N" indicating a 'note' rather than a 'warning'? If so, you are done & can submit just fine. The info suggests this is just crud from trying to build the LaTeX files for the man pages, and that's not relevant to package acceptance. – Tithing

Thanks all! I filed the broken links, and ran some new tests using R CMD BUILD followed by R CMD check, and devtools::check_win_devel(). I just resubmitted it. We'll see if it goes through. – Graaf

This was a namespace collision issue. It has been fixed via: github.com/khanna-lab/influenceR/commit/…. The package compiles now. – Graaf
