Could you show us the install and check logs for the problematic platform?
I don't think you'd get to the message you quote unless the install succeeded, so I think your diagnosis of the problem isn't right. But maybe I'm wrong about that, and the install failed, perhaps because the Quarto tools were not available.

Hi, I am trying to release a new version of the quarto R package. This new version is adding support for a new vignette engine that will use quarto CLI (https://quarto.org) when available. The vignettes inside the package itself are '.qmd' files built with quarto. While developing the feature, I noticed that R CMD check will query for vignette engines information, and it will find engine in already installed package (with `tools:::vignetteEngine`). So a package adding a new engine, and using this engine for its vignette only works when the package is installed before check. Automated checks works ok on `r-devel-windows-x86_64`, but fails on `r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc` because of this note Check: package vignettes, Result: NOTE Package has 'vignettes' subdirectory but apparently no vignettes. Perhaps the 'VignetteBuilder' information is missing from the DESCRIPTION file? I believe this happens because the package is not installed, so when R CMD Check is doing the vignette checking, it won't find the quarto vignette engine. I am trying to understand what I could do for this package release, considering checks are ok on windows r-devel, and only having the NOTE on debian environment. Should I consider this a false positive for this specific case ? Is there any consideration to take for adding a new engine ?
