Hi Uwe, Deleting the blank line and resubmitting to rhub indicates that the problem has been fixed.
You are right that the extra blank line did not cause a problem before, specifically on 2019-01-09. Mystifying! However, hopefully all good now.

Simply omitting that should solve the issue. Nevertheless, I do not believe you had a lot trouble getting this to CRAN in the past.
