Dear R developers, I submitted my package (https://github.com/MikkoVihtakari/ggOceanMaps) to CRAN and got a note I have not seen before in this context. R CMD check --as-cran on the source version, rhub::check_for_cran(), and devtools::check() all run without problems. So did CRAN checks on every platform except Debian. Here is the log I received from CRAN:
---- Flavor: r-devel-windows-ix86+x86_64 Check: CRAN incoming feasibility, Result: NOTE Maintainer: 'Mikko Vihtakari <mikko.vihtak...@hi.no>' New submission Package was archived on CRAN Possibly misspelled words in DESCRIPTION: GitHub (26:13) bathymetric (18:38) geospatial (24:3) shapefiles (23:24, 25:17, 25:45) CRAN repository db overrides: X-CRAN-Comment: Archived on 2021-06-04 as check problems were not corrected in time.

The package requires ggOceanMapsData package to function. That package is too large for CRAN and has been placed in a drat repository on Github. I have used install.packages() in the vignette ( https://github.com/MikkoVihtakari/ggOceanMaps/blob/3c3d4daa5a26b262db569a3465208face0fca731/vignettes/ggOceanMaps.Rmd#L17) to make it possible to compile the vignette. Could it be that the check on Debian has begun to pick on this line for some reason? As said, I have not encountered this issue before, and the package was on CRAN before being pulled by another problem. Any insight would be appreciated.
