The issue really is between run-time dependencies (in Depends:) and build-time dependencies (in Build-Depends:). Package relying on Rcpp _to be built_ (by far the majority) of course need build-essential, and get it. But one may use Rcpp at run-time too. Less common, but entirely doable and also use by some. The regexp you use there may be a little too expansive. We for example use sourceCpp in the special case of unit tests. Those are commonly used at build-time, but this may now seep into run-time. I usually find whitelists (ie declare for selected packages 'abc' and 'def' they a need additional package 'xyz') a better solution when I work with these interpackage relationship. | Have a week-end, Hard to avoid ;-) (I am worse with typos and not proof-reading emails) Cheers, and have a nice week-end which for you has almost started.
