Debian Linux, R-devel, clang, ISO-8859-15 locale (name: debian-clang-devel): Two errors

[phargarten2]

On platform Debian Linux, R-devel, clang, ISO-8859-15 locale, I was checking the miWQS package and found two warnings/notes found that will be picked up by CRAN:

1. When checking for future timestamps, the platform is unable to verify current time.
2. When creating the vignette that uses BibTex, the file `biblatex.sty' is not found on the platform. Please add this file on the platform. The other platforms on Rhub had this file, and no issues were reported.

Thank you for using your package to check my packag, miWQS, in CRAN. On the Ubuntu Linux 20.04.1 LTS, R-release, the LaTex file is not found. `  

WARNINGS: checking re-building of vignette outputs ... WARNING Error(s) in re-building vignettes: ... --- re-building ‘README.Rmd’ using rmarkdown ! LaTeX Error: File `biblatex.sty' not found. ! Emergency stop. <read > `

The timestamp is fixed.

This issue is about the previous R-hub system, it does not apply to the new system, so I am closing it now. Please see https://r-hub.github.io/rhub/ for the new system, R-hub v2.
