Trying to install and use flowCore on R 3.6.0 seems to produce a dependency issue:

Hi,

It seems that robustbase is not needed by flowCore. https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/flowCore.html FlowCore depends on rrcov which depends on robustbase. https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rrcov/index.html

Please report if rrcov is installed or not on your session.

To solve your issue, I would say you have to install robustbase and/or rrcov.

Mike will answer you certainly. NB: I am still on R3.5.1, and I have both rrcov and robustbase.

Best.

Well FWIW, installing robustbase DID solve my issue per se, but I thought it worth reporting because it seemed like this was not intended workflow. Unfortunately, my sessionInfo is all the information I still have of my situation when I experienced the problem.

Today rrcov IS on my package list, but I can't speak to when the error occurred..

Mike re-opened an issue related to this: https://github.com/RGLab/flowCore/issues/23. I'll be moving the classes and methods that necessitate these dependencies over to flowStats and I'll post here and to that issue when that's complete.

After a few recent commits linked at the issue above, the rrcov dependency (among others) is removed from flowCore and those changes will be incorporated in to the next Bioconductor release.
