"Depends: httr (>= 0.6), XML" in the DESCRIPTION file
"import(httr, XML)" in NAMESPACE
Per your question I just tried changing "Depends" to "Imports", it didn't make
a change.

I have a local library 'dart' that imports "httr". It has routines that
access central patient data such as birth date, so it is heavily used
locally but of no interest to anyone else.
The httr library (and 300 others) are in a shared directory, referenced by
everyone in the biostatistics group via adding this location to the
.libPaths in their default .Rprofile. (Actually, their .Rprofile starts by
running material from a central one, the libPaths is there).
When I run R (3.2.0) all is fine, but R CMD build fails with the text below
* creating vignettes ... ERROR
Error: processing vignette 'dart.Rnw' failed with diagnostics:
chunk 2 (label = auth1)
Error : package ‘httr’ required by ‘dart’ could not be found
Execution halted
If I add the requiste directory to my R_LIBS_USER environment variable then
all is fine. However, that's a nuisance since the location changes over
time (e.g. R releases). The system admins have a whole process that keeps
.bashrc, .Rprofle and etc dot references up to date. Plugging into this is
why we use .Rprofile. They are quite willing to make select changes in the
central file, but with >1000 users any suggested changes in the overall
process do not get a warm welcome.
Any ideas? There is no mention in the Writing R Extentions manual that it
ignores the Rprofile file. If "suck it up and use R_LIBS_USER" is the
answer, well, there are only a few who build packages.
PS, I can't use RHOME:/etc/Rprofile.site since the biostat group is not the
only set of R users. Some other groups, for instance, cannot even see our
central area.
