After upgrading to R 2.5.1 on Debian, R CMD check gives
* checking Rd cross-references ... WARNING
Error in .find.package(package, lib.loc) :
there is no package called 'codetools'
Execution halted
* checking for missing documentation entries ... WARNING
etc
The NEWS file says (for 2.5.0; I was on 2.4 before the recent upgrade)
o New recommended package 'codetools' by Luke Tierney provides
code-analysis tools. This can optionally be used by 'R CMD
check' to detect problems, especially symbols which are not
visible.
This sounds as if R CMD check should run OK without the package, and it
doesn't seem to.
Have I misunderstood something, or is their a problem with R CMD check's
handling of the case with missing codetools.
I don't have codetools installed because the Debian r-recommended
package was missing a dependency; I see that's already been fixed
(wow!).
