sysreqs::sysreq_commands("DESCRIPTION") fails

[jchiquet]

Trying to catch system dependencies in my package to submit to R-hub builder which uses sysreqs I get

> sysreqs::sysreq_commands("DESCRIPTION")
Error: JSON: EXPECTED value GOT U

The description file can be found here : PLNmodels/DESCRIPTION

Ubuntu 18.04 with R 3.5.2

Any idea? Hope that is not those French accent or something...

Thanks

Ok, adding the platform manually (looking in the closed Issues) solved my problem:
