Dear list members,

thank you for reading. For a few weeks, I have a WARNING on CRAN package checks 
for our dataquieR package, which does not even
indirectly use Bioconductor nor cites anything from there. The warning states, 
that an old bioconductor release is not available any more:

> Check: for unstated dependencies in ‘tests’
> Result: WARN
>     Warning: unable to access index for repository 
> https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.14/bioc/src/contrib:
>      cannot open URL 
> 'https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.14/bioc/src/contrib/PACKAGES'
>     Warning: unable to access index for repository 
> https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.14/data/annotation/src/contrib:
>      cannot open URL 
> 'https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.14/data/annotation/src/contrib/PACKAGES'
>     Warning: unable to access index for repository 
> https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.14/data/experiment/src/contrib:
>      cannot open URL 
> 'https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.14/data/experiment/src/contrib/PACKAGES'
> Flavor: r-oldrel-windows-ix86+x86_64

I suspect, this WARNING is related with the test infrastructure somehow. Since 
I also have to fix two NOTEs within the next two weeks, I should comment on 
this WARNING too.
What would you propose to do about the WARNING — I cannot address it, because 
dataquieR is not using Bioconductor at all (I’m rather sure about this, because
`grep -ir bioc *` returns nothing, and because the BiocManager package does not 
list https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=BiocManager
in its reverse dependencies).

I expected the WARNING to disappear once someone fixes the suspected problems 
on r-oldrel-windows-ix86+x86_64, but this has not yet happened. Any hints how 
to handle this
are appreciated, thank you in advance,

Stephan
