Re: Test suite errors for r-cran-fs 1.5.0+dfsg-1

Andreas,

As far as the test-file.R#43 failure one way I could see it failing is if your test machine does _not_ have the tibble package installed. The tests assume that all Suggested dependencies are installed.

I do not know why the other tests are failing.

fs 1.5.0 is passing on CRAN's debian based check machines without any test failures (https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc/fs-00check.html), so if it is failing in the debian build machine there must be something non-standard going on with the environment.

Hi Jim,

I tried to upgrade the Debian package of fs. Unfortunately it has a
couple of errors in the test suite:

Any idea what might be wrong here?

I discussed this on the debian-r mailing list first and got two answers so
far:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-r/2020/09/msg00001.html
https://lists.debian.org/debian-r/2020/09/msg00002.html

I do not speak R myself so I do not fully understand these answers but
may be you can make some sense out of it.

Kind regards

Andreas.
