#1198081 — Bug#1071535: car: Please remove r-cran-maptools from (Build-)Depends

Source: car
Version: 3.1-2-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

car mentions r-cran-maptools in (Build-)Depends which is not backed up
by the DESCRIPTION file.  Since maptools is removed from CRAN I'd like
to remove it from Debian.  So it would be great if you could drop the
unneeded dependency.  If you might consider using

    dh-update-R

the Dependencies are auto-updated for you.

Kind regards
    Andreas.

Yes, we fail to build if 'added' depends are missing, it doesn't work the
same way the other direction.  

Thanks for the heads-up, now corrected in my sources.

Maybe also take care of data.table and its i386 test? Else 'car' will be gone
anyway via autoremoval.

Thanks,  Dirk
