I would just increment the version.  This is the from the CRAN
re-submission policy[1]:

You could always add NEWS entry explaining what the new version
is, then the package will not be exactly the same anymore ;).

Best,

Hi all,

I have a question re package submission that I'm hoping someone might be able 
to help with.

A package I maintain (dalmatian) was archived last year because one of the 
packages it depends on (dglm) was removed from CRAN. The dglm package has been 
fixed and is back on CRAN, and I have resubmitted my package. There have been 
no changes to my package and I resubmitted the same version with the same 
version number. I noted this in my submission.

All checks passed, but I received the following from log CRAN-pretest:

Flavor: r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc, r-devel-windows-ix86+x86_64
Check: CRAN incoming feasibility, Result: WARNING
  Maintainer: 'Simon Bonner simon.bon...@uwo.ca<mailto:simon.bon...@uwo.ca>'

  New submission

  Package was archived on CRAN

  Insufficient package version (submitted: 0.6.1, existing: 0.6.1)

  CRAN repository db overrides:
    X-CRAN-Comment: Archived on 2020-10-18 as requires archived package
      'dglm'.

  This build time stamp is over a month old.

It seems that I am not allowed to submit the package with the same version, but 
 it also seems odd to increment the version to get around this when nothing at 
all has changed in the package.

Is there another solution?

Thanks,

Simon
