Hi, you should be using Bioconductor 3.14 to develop a new contribution at
this time -- see http://contributions.bioconductor.org/general.html

see 1.6.1 of https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html
You may be able to diagnose your problem (which may involve the way in
which R was built for your linux system)
by building with --compact-vignettes
This condition should not stop you from submitting.

Did you provide the repo name, perhaps I can check too. I see that Nitesh
has given additional advice.
Once you have minimized R CMD and BiocCheck checking warnings, submit the
package. The Single Package
Builder and review process will be informative about mandatory
modifications. We are working to help developers
have the ability to fully emulate our build/check processes but are not
there yet.
