[R-pkg-team] Bug#924514: multcomp breaks r-cran-dosefinding autopkgtest

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

reassign 924514 r-cran-dosefinding
thanks


The relationship between 'multcomp' and 'DoseFinding' is, as seen on the
upstream package for 'DoseFinding' at

  http://cloud.r-project.org/package=DoseFinding

in its DESCRIPTION file:

  Suggests: numDeriv, Rsolnp, quadprog, parallel, multcomp

so 'multcomp' is only suggested. Further, as one can see browsing the code
(via the CRAN mirror at GitHub) at

  https://github.com/cran/DoseFinding

there is exactly one use here (per a search for multcompin these sources)

  https://github.com/cran/DoseFinding/search?q=multcomp&unscoped_q=multcomp

and that is generation of data in one testfile. As such I will not consider
myself with the bug in package 'multcomp'.  I suggest the DoseFinding
maintainer get in touch with its upstream.

Thanks,  Dirk
