Developers,

Please be advised: There are still 152 packages currently showing ERROR on the Bioconductor devel build report because of the updates to knitr requiring a simple fix to the package DESCRIPTION. We reported that this is a real ERROR that needs to be corrected in all packages by the package maintainers.

See this post from June: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2021-June/018223.html

Packages that are not fixed in the next month will be marked as deprecated until corrected. Packages that remained deprecated through the next Bioconductor release will be removed.

As of today Monday June 26 here is a list of packages that have this type of ERROR. These package maintainers should have been receiving the automatic build failure notifications from the BBS (BBS-noreply@bioconductor.org) and within the next few days will get a reminder email from the core team as well. We encourage if you know any of the package maintainers in this list to reach out to them to fix their package as soon as possible.

Thank you. We appreciate everyone's contributions to Bioconductor and hope to have these ERRORs resolved quickly.
