Ttests on x86_64 Linux with R-devel using _R_CHECK_DEPENDS_ONLY_=true, so packages in Suggests (and Enhances) are not available (other than recommended packages). For this to work as intended, add-on packages need to be installed in a library other than .Library. Other details as https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/Rconfig/r-devel-linux-x86_64-fedora-gcc Packages get reported here when they have used a suggested/enhances package which is unavailable. Since such packages come and go, they will continue to be checked and reported here if they fail again.
