Hi, because I'm lacking the relevant R knowledge (and I also fail in finding some relevant R/CRAN packaging team inside Debian) I'm writing to Debian Mentors and main R packages maintainer. I guess with some basic R knowledge the problem below is easy to solve. I checked the source of r-cran-genabel package and found the problematic function only in one single file:
../r-cran-genabel-1.7-0$ grep -Rl "stringSplit" R/checkPackageVersionOnCRAN.R When reading its only quite short function checkPackageVersionOnCRAN <- function(packageName,baseUrlCRAN="http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/";, timeout = 10) { # change default timout svtmo <- options("timeout") options("timeout"=timeout) # page to check is pageAddress <- paste(baseUrlCRAN,packageName,sep="/") ... # parse the page and get string starting with "Package source:" targetLine <- pageContent[grep("Package source:",pageContent)] # split the string at "Package_" and ".tar.gz"; the element before the last will contain the version splitPattern <- paste(packageName,"_|.tar.gz",sep="") stringSplit <- strsplit(targetLine,splitPattern) cranVersion <- stringSplit[[1]][length(stringSplit[[1]])-1] # return version return(cranVersion) } this heavily smells like the attempt to verify a web page while beeing offline. IMHO the proper fix for this would be to return for instance the version of the Debian package or some other reasonable thing - but in any case it should be avoided trying to split a non-existing string or so. Any hint for a reasonable patch? Thanks for any help Andreas.
