I think that's because your package depends on SVAR, which requires
time-series data.
Ah, good point. Although then the follow-up question why is it just asking for an unspecified dataset, and not for time series? Indeed I just tested with the panel dataset abdata.gdt, and didn't get the error message, although of course the underlying SVAR functions cannot do anything sensible with panel data.

- The GUI_SVAR_setID_uimaker function is declared as the ui-maker, and requests 
no_const both for the lists X and Y, as well as no_singleton for Y. However, in 
the GUI I can execute the package under all those cases that are supposed to be 
prevented.
Your package doesn't seem to specify a menu attachment: that's
required for the ui-maker to kick in.

Hm, I see. But what's required per the documentation strikes me as reasonable, namely: "The ui-maker is called internally when the relevant dialog box is to be shown" and "...the dialog box shown when the gui-main function of a package is called". Why should the menu attachment be a necessary ingredient there?

thanks
