My apologies for the lack of clarity. plotrix has been orphaned so my package results page now says
checking package dependencies ... WARNING Requires orphaned package: ‘plotrix’ CRAN incoming requires maintainers to certify: 'I have fixed all problems shown on the package check page.' Since I can't unorphan plotrix, I can't certify this statement & thus can't get a new version of my package on CRAN. Advice on how to proceed is welcomed. Liam J.
