WARNING: Requires (indirectly) orphaned package: 'gtools'

[aritz-adin]

Dear Roger,

Perhaps you are already aware of this issue, but it seems that the gtools package is orphaned.

Because of this, all packages (like mine) that indirectly depends on spatialreg are now seeing build failures with the warning in R CMD check

Check: package dependencies
Result: WARN
    Requires orphaned package: ‘gtools’

How could I fix this problem?

Best regards, Aritz

Yes, a known but stale issue, as gtools is on CRAN again: https://cran.r-project.org/package=gtools. I don't see any need to act on this, unless CRAN asks for an update

Thank you very much to both of you for your quick reply.

In that case, there should be no problem when uploading the new version of my package to CRAN.

Let's hope so!
