PREPERROR: package `Matrix` non-zero exit status on Debian Linux, R-devel, GCC ASAN/UBSAN

[emmekeaarts]

Hi,

Doing a package check using devtools;:check_rhub() on Debian Linux, R-devel, GCC ASAN/UBSAN, it fails because the package Matrix (and all other packages that depend on Matrix, such as MCMCpack) has a non-zero exit status:

#> ERROR: dependency ‘MCMCpack’ is not available for package ‘mHMMbayes’

In addition: Warning messages:
1: In i.p(...) : installation of package ‘Matrix’ had non-zero exit status
2: In i.p(...) :
installation of package ‘MatrixModels’ had non-zero exit status
3: In i.p(...) :
installation of package ‘survival’ had non-zero exit status
4: In i.p(...) :
installation of package ‘quantreg’ had non-zero exit status
5: In i.p(...) :
installation of package ‘MCMCpack’ had non-zero exit status
Execution halted

Digging in further:
Creating a generic function for ‘chol2inv’ from package ‘base’ in package ‘Matrix’
2923#> Creating a generic function for ‘diag’ from package ‘base’ in package ‘Matrix’
2924#> Creating a generic function for ‘zapsmall’ from package ‘base’ in package ‘Matrix’

2926#> methods can add arguments to the generic ‘zapsmall’ only if '...' is an argument to the generic
2927#> Error: unable to load R code in package ‘Matrix’

Any ideas?

I suggest you try the new version of the rhub package from https://github.com/r-hub/rhub:

pak::pkg_install("r-hub/rhub")

This issue is about the previous R-hub system, it does not apply to the new system, so I am closing it now. Please see https://r-hub.github.io/rhub/ for the new system, R-hub v2.
